Immortality

Immortality what do you / want here in front of my porch
you take no heed of me and you / have my heart completely scorch'd
In this world they have long loved you / many kings and poets who pray
and not a sprig of mint did you / ever give to them away
 
You're merciless / like the relentless fist of death
at times a bless / we have believed in with our breath
Each kindred shall / want you their own if they can
beautiful gal / never won by any man
 
Immortality what do you / want here in front of my porch
what eerie forfeits will you / ask from life as rewards
Croesuses* came thirsty around / modest pilgrims before you
and weren't from your garden's fount / ever offered water to
 
You're merciless / like the relentless fist of death
at times a bless / we have believed in with our breath
Each kindred shall / want you their own if they can
beautiful gal / never won by any man
