For a course of leave br with a mood festive br when all were preparing for, br I know you too br were trying... br br You longed for life. br and asked about your fate - br we hoped against hope, br tried to pull you up br from the decaying slope. br I never knew br that I was always lying. br br You longed for life br for a little long; br so you never failed br to believe the hopeful song - br 'You must overcome, br hale and hearty br you will become. br You will overcome.' br Oh no! You were dying. br br My hope died, all attempts failed. br Around a bunch of strangers br you scanned for kin of trust, br with many wishes left unuttered br you breathed your last. br br Festival was then on br with my love forever gone. br On corpus we shed tears br while your soul br found its heavenly goal - br on earth we stayed to mourn.
