Should ...

 

Soft as the touch of a feather

Tight as a strap made of leather

Hot as a kiss of the lover

And cool as the silken cover

Should be my death

Should be my eternal breath

*

Dark as the moonless night

Peaceful as the silver light

Quiet as the winter morning

Sad as the lover's mourning

Should be my final day

Should be my last way

*

Calm as the land after a storm

Magical as the unicorn's horn

Sweet as an old red wine

Sour as a mellow lime

Should be my last farewell

When I hear the banshee’s bell
