Death Went Up The Hall ----------------------------- A rider took the lift And read the chart for Beth The guard had slumped asleep And never looked at Death The drip bags tick and swing A bedside phone won't ring Then Death went up the hall Unseen by every one His twilight robes trailed wide Beyond the nurse and nun The drip bags tick and swing A bedside phone won't ring He paused at every door And listened to the breath Of those who did not know How near they were to Death Then Death went up the hall Unseen by nurse and nun He passed by many a door But entered only one He's here for one For only one For only one One --- "Death Went Up The Hall" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
