Lend me the silence of the night sky
The solitude of the islands that dot the seas
Color me with shades of the four seasons
Let me leave now, with no reasons
Like the river that flows through wild woods
Lead me to places that I haven't been
These wonders of nature
I have long since seen
Let me rest in peace
Let no thought ruffle me
Am an old bark now
I ain't no autumn leaf
I have wilted now
And so have the roses on my grave
I shall survive now
With the hope that you always gave
Of the dawn that awakens every sleep
I embrace my slumber dark and deep
