Analysis of Sing Glee
Sing glee
At the breaking of day
Fate might smile to all who say,
Live another, I pray.
Crystal tinkles, clinking song,
Laughs amid the rising storm
Mix the rum and beat the drum.
The hands cannot be stopped
Run the race and beat the clock
Prance! Dance! deny the night
When gray pale grasp lays claim at last
And all the good encrypted past, singly barrow-cast.

About this poem
I wrote this poem when in high school in 1986. This poem is designed to suggest the change from social and liveliness in early life to the macabre solitary death in which the things you have done fade away.
