My Last Song
Let all the strains of joy mingle in my last song –
the joy that makes the earth flow over in the riotous excess of the grass;
the joy that sets the twin brothers, life and death, dancing over the wide world;
the joy that sweeps in with the tempest, shaking and waking all life with laughter;
the joy that sits still on the open, red lotus of pain,
and the joy that throws everything it has upon the dust, and knows not a word.
