- No
Dominion....
- And
death shall have no dominion.
- Dead
men naked they shall be one
- With
the man in the wind and the west moon;
- When
their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
- They
shall have stars at elbow and foot;
- Though
they go mad they shall be sane,
- Though
they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
- Though
lovers be lost love shall not;
- And
death shall have no dominion.
- And
death shall have no dominion.
- Under
the windings of the sea
- They
lying long shall not die windily;
- Twisting
on racks when sinews give way,
- Strapped
to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
- Faith
in their hands shall snap in two,
- And
the unicorn evils run them through;
- Split
all ends up they shan't crack;
- And
death shall have no dominion.
- And
death shall have no dominion.
- No
more may gulls cry at their ears
- Or
waves break loud on the seashores;
- Where
blew a flower may a flower no more
- Lift
its head to the blows of the rain;
- Though
they be mad and dead as nails,
- Heads
of the characters hammer through daisies;
- Break
in the sun till the sun breaks down,
- And
death shall have no dominion.
