For he is gone, for he is dead For he has left and left us dead. No! Wilt not yet young flowers, Flourish still. Thy lost flow hast merely chosen For God's table vase. Radiate they iridescence to the eyes! Captivate still.
For he is gone, for he is dead. For we go on, recall instead Dreams a dreamy man conceived Of a flower garden, watered well Flourishing its beauty. Every seed of soil meticulously placed To watch the roots grow shoots Shooting into the sky Capturing glorious warmth from the dreamer, Of a thousand dreams Come true.
For he is gone, for he is dead Think not that, conceive instead, Were thy flowers shall come to be The dreamer who did succeed Bequeaths to you To dream
Dream through walls Befalling the best And become thy exalted one.
