Soft winds !

Yet
The flags are in tatters !

The books are flung across the floor !

//

Soft is love !

WE SHALL NEVER HURT EACH OTHER

is the only thing said !

••

Softly
Years scatter
Us apart

But we have never hurt each other
Not even in memory

••

See the young boys and girls
Take to the hills !

Softly now !

( We must surely let them go )

••

Soft and sure

Death comes to us
We give a sweet good-bye

To all who love
To all who live
