I Know Not

    By Ella Wheeler Wilcox



    Death!    I know not what room you are abiding in,
        But I will go my way,
        Rejoicing day by day,
        Nor will I flee or stay
    For fear I tread the path you may be hiding in.

    Death!    I know not, if my small barque be nearing you;
        But if you are at sea,
        Still there my sails float free;
        'What is to be will be.'
    Nor will I mar the happy voyage by fearing you.

    Death!    I know not, what hour or spot you wait for me;
        My days untroubled flow,
        Just trusting on, I go,
        For oh, I know, I know,
    Death is but Life that holds some glad new fate for me.
