Listen Now ‘fore I Die Poem by Thomas Duncky
Listen Now ‘fore I Die
It might be too late to say
Here was a man in whom great wisdom lay
When on a bright morning I to my Maker have gone
And your praise to me sounds none the better than scorn
Therefore come now, dear friends and respectable enemies
And say before I die to my face; here is a man in whom great wisdom lies.
For when I’m dead and gone
Your wonderful praise to me will sound none the better than scorn.
