My mother, dear sister, fare you well,
Softly the spirit now sings.
All heaven in nature must needs come to end
In the sacred twilight of these trees.
Many a time fell the maple leaves crisp
To crunch ’neath my feet as I passed;
But I wandered in longing to reach to the stars
That glistened in wait through the leaves.
Captured my heart in a jewel-studded vast
That remembers for us in the echoes, ’fore time
Thought to stain our lives, from our ears to hide
The music that drifts ’tween the stars.
Sun sighs to rest as I rise from this world
With crystalline feathered wings fly,
O’er oceans of woodlands and deserts we lost
When we sank into sleep ages past.
This evening of vision I’ll gladly impart:
The moon lingers low to lean o’er the world,
Pondering angels who live in a dream,
Asleep though the mysteries of life beckon far.
Thus amused, I flutter a farewell to you,
And ask that you look soon for me in the stars;
There will I sing to the moon and the sky
And the angels to join me, with opening eyes.
