Analysis of Death’s Frontier



If ever was man more loved than I,

Step forward, speak up, don't be shy.



You're my heaven sent crown jewel of wealth untold,

Of flawless perfection for the years all told.



If ever were a woman more loved than thee,

Step forward, speak out, shout your decree.



I treasure our love more than silver or gold,
Or all of the riches the Far East doth hold.



If ever two people stood truer as one,

Step forward, speak loud, thou hast surely won.



So as we live in love we must persevere,
So our love will live on beyond death's frontier.
