I'll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Drifting Souls detail

DRIFTING SOULS
This narrow leaf one hand-span
Wide contains a landscape
Pock-marked, cracked, stained tan

Like smoke.  Within it figures wrapped
In dust stand fixed in sight
As if inside a rifle’s scope.

But for now they will not die
And are not killing, only shuffling
Through grasses, as light as ghosts — mild,

Becalmed.  Forty years is as nothing
Here, where they linger, fastened,
Their legs disappearing

In uncut grass, their torsos thickened
By packs, canteens, by radios, guns
Pursuing their endless errand.
