Death be not proud. For even when I shall embrace you It shall not be my end. My death shall not be thy victory. For even when I shall embrace you I shall be deadly alive. Alive in thoughts. Alive in memories. Alive in magnanimous deeds. Alive in all lively lives. Alive in all who are in love with life. Alive for all who want to live and say to thee "Death be not proud". Death be not proud. For even when I shall embrace you It shall not be my end. Death be not proud.
