The Door of Death

The door of Death is made of gold, that, mortal eyes cannot behold; but when the mortal eyes are closed, and cold, pale, limbs

reposed, the soul awakes and wondering, sees In her mild hand the golden keys. The grave is heaven's golden gate, rich and poor around it wait.   William Blake
