Some say the world will end in fire. Not me.
There's ire enough for hire --
or not, so we become mired
in foreign bogs and expire.
Some say the world will end in ice. Not I.
That’s twice too much a price
to pay for one paradise --
I find much more to entice.
Some say the world won’t end at all. I think --
recall what can befall
us entrapped within the small.
In endings, the dawns revolve.
