When the last note is struck
At the choir’s crescendo
And the prima donna bows
At the performance’s end

When the last word I write
At the chapter’s end.
I will lay down my pen
And seek to rest
Briefly;
To convey these the things
That I on parchment conveyed.

Continues with a line
With a stanza press on
Of lonesome days when the pen can cough no words
Still I struggle to give of these my thoughts.

Nothing lasts
Ad nauseum I said.
I repeat
I repeat
all must end.
