What If I Say (Intro)

WHAT if I say I shall not wait?
What if I burst the fleshly gate
And pass, escaped, to thee?
What if I file this mortal off,
See where it hurt me,- that 's enough,-
And wade in liberty?

They cannot take us any more,-
Dungeons may call, and guns implore;
Unmeaning now, to me,
As laughter was an hour ago, 10
Or laces, or a travelling show,
Or who died yesterday!
