The
poem is about life's inevitable moment; when
we move on from this life to the next. It's
not likely that Fenerty wrote this about himself,
but probably about people in general. Fenerty
was very active in the Church just before his
death. It was only a few weeks before his death
that an entry was made in the church records
that he asked to temporarily resign due to his
health. Also, Fenerty believed more than what
he wrote in this poem - about life, about death.
This poem is a general observation of life put
in a voice that hails the thought of that inevitable
moment. Only two of Fenerty's poems ever made
it to pamphlet form. This, like all the other
poems of his, was probably published in a local
newspaper. |
