O Thanatos, omnipotent dread lord,
I humbly bow before your mighty hand.
With strength you wield your evenhanded sword
That sends men to your undiscovered land.
So long have they attempted to escape
Your ineluctable ferocity.
They know not that with love your actions drape
And only wish to bring them close to thee.
You save us from the pangs of pain and strife
That torture many to the brink of woe.
Released from the cruelty of earthly life
To your embracing arms they long to go.
I know now that of you I need not fear,
And promise not to flee when you draw near.
