Here you will find the Poem Give Your Wish Light of poet Robinson Jeffers
By day and night dream about happy death, Poor dog give your heart room, drag at the chain, Breathe deep at dawn, wish it were the last breath, Imagine the leaden ball planted in the brain, The seed of that superb flower, dream the brave noose That loves the neck so dearly it lets the life loose, Dream the fierce joys of war where men like drunken Jesuses fling the supreme gift at each other, 'Take blessedness, take it deep in your breast, brother . . Dream on, dream all these joys, life might look shrunken In lack of dreams. Give your wish light, give it room. You know you will never untimely attempt the tomb. Go in to your bride by daylight before the crowd As if sweet death were a whore? You are too proud.
