There is much to consider in this (beautiful) contribution.
First: I feel like the speaker is old but refuses to acknowledge or fear mortality.
Next: There are experiences that the speaker has not known and would try.
Last: even death would be preferable to ignorance.
..
I feel as if my rough words have missed the mark, and consider deleting this, but a discussion on comments has emboldened me to let fly.
Thanks again

This is such a poignant poem, and everything Harry has said in his comments I echo. My favorite lines are these, a last heartfelt wish from a hopeful heart:
"Life has nothing in it;
I'd rather perish where the sirens play."
