Trade

I’d give away all wealth
If you’d be so kind to trade Death
For this life is not worth the breath
O sweet release for me to come
Rid my soul of the foul boredom
The sight of a grave far away
Down next to it I yearn to lay
O Lord have mercy on a free soul
Rendered its years to another’s yore
ألا موتٌ يُباع فأشتريه — الوزير المهلبي
Such there is Night، not Night as ours—Unhappy Folk
— J.R.R. Tolkien.
