Wishing to live a long life along, Someday I just wish to die sooner Shall I be carried on four shoulders Escaping the pyre engraved under a boulder A day comes when the talk's untold No one's left, no familiar waits no more Might a thought of me cross your head Might you come to embrace my grave For long hours there my soul resides Listening to the stories going on beside Might a drop of pearl fall from those eyes on low Might my grave nourish, though the soul turns sour Hope the nature favours me some, Perhaps I feast your eyes with a lone sunflower Nor do I turn myself to cherish the sun arose Neither could present you a bouquet I suppose Might the distance I wish drag you towards me Might it bring you close And then shall the grave of mine confess you the love, I ever held for you with a sunflower but not a rose

A Sunflower or A Rose
Wishing to live a long life along, Someday I just wish to die sooner Shall I be carried on four shoulders Escaping the pyre engraved under a boulder A day comes when the talk's untold No one's left, no familiar waits no more Might a thought of me cross your head Might you come to embrace my grave For long hours there my soul resides Listening to the stories going on beside Might a drop of pearl fall from those eyes on low Might my grave nourish, though the soul turns sour Hope the nature favours me some, Perhaps I feast your eyes with a lone sunflower Nor do I turn myself to cherish the sun arose Neither could present you a bouquet I suppose Might the distance I wish drag you towards me Might it bring you close And then shall the grave of mine confess you the love, I ever held for you with a sunflower but not a rose
Like a sunflower to the sun I shall forever cherish you with the love that I hold for you, for ever and ever and ever....
