Oh Lord, I pray thee


Oh Lord, I pray thee do not let me die
In a bed with sheets and blankets piled upon
And with dripping noses about me.


Nay, smite me someday without warning,
That headlong I fall into the forest some place


Where no one will come around nosing.

I well know the forest, I am it's son,
It will not deny my humble request
To die on its cranberry bog.

Thus will I give back without word of complaint
My mighty cadaver to it's creatures all,
To the crows, the rats, and the flies. 




-Knut Hamsun
