Peace, my heart, let the time for br the parting be sweet. br Let it not be a death but completeness. br Let love melt into memory and pain br into songs. br Let the flight through the sky end br in the folding of the wings over the br nest. br Let the last touch of your hands be br gentle like the flower of the night. br Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a br moment, and say your last words in br silence. br I bow to you and hold up my lamp br to light you on your way.
