Conscientious Objector Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Autoplay next video. I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death.
I hear him leading his horse out of the stall; I hear the clatter on the barn- floor. He is in haste; he has business in Cuba,business in the Balkans, many calls to make this morning.
But I will not hold the bridlewhile he clinches the girth. And he may mount by himself: I will not give him a leg up. Though he flick my shoulders with his whip,I will not tell him which way the fox ran. With his hoof on my breast, I will not tell him where the black boy hides in the swamp. I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay- roll. I will not tell him the whereabout of my friends nor of my enemies either. Though he promise me much, I will not map him the route to any man's door.

Am I a spy in the land of the living,that I should deliver men to Death? Brother, the password and the plans of our city are safe with me; never through me Shall you be overcome.
