I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
it may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath--
I have a rendezvous with Death
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.
This attitude towards death is not fatalism. It is hope. Hope of a man who is secure in the knowledge that if he dies, it's in doing the right thing.
We should all have this attitude towards death.
A man who died young and well.
