Gentle weather and blue skies
On the day when
The earth hugged you forever
Mommy carried
Your tiny reed basket
From birth to never, never
And still, the sun,
Cool green grass
And a thousand songbirds
Perform the soundtrack
Of the big farewell
The basket sunk
In fertile earth
Crumbs clung to our feet
And still, the sun,
Don't be sad
We'll soon catch up
Until soul and silence
Will merge us all
Just one quiet moment
Without green and song
And still the sun
And still, the sun,
