When I am dead I will not care

Forever more, 

If my life-hoard in sin be spent,           

I'll be so damned indifferent          

When I am dead.           

When I meet up with dusty doom          

What if I rest In common ditch or marble tomb,          

If curst or blest?  

To me it will be all the same          

When I am dead.  

So say for me no pious prayer,     

In nothingness I cannot care,          

I'll be so dead. I shall not reck of war or peace          

When I go hence: 

Let me win sublime release,--          

INDIFFERENCE!
