Since There Is No Escape Annotated

Since there is no escape, since at the end
&nbsp My body will be utterly destroyed,
This hand I love as I have loved a friend,
&nbsp This body I tended, wept with and enjoyed;
Since there is no escape even for me
&nbsp Who love life with a love too sharp to bear:
The scent of orchards in the rain, the sea
&nbsp And hours alone too still and sure for prayer—
Since darkness waits for me, then all the more
Let me go down as waves sweep to the shore
&nbsp In pride; and let me sing with my last breath;
In these few hours of light I lift my head;
Life is my lover—I shall leave the dead
&nbsp If there is any way to baffle death.
