Let me grow
old in peace!
Bask in the
rays of a setting sun
Lean back to
rest, my day’s work done:
From afar
I’ll watch worlds grow,
Listen to
new melodies flow
Not strive
to reach elusive ends
Nor yearn
for more; with nature blend.
A lone star
I’ll shine in firmament
No one to
lead; none to tend.
Rising no
more Sphinx-like from ash
Sit and
dream of another world.
Where paths
run straight, where winds don’t hurl,
And brooks
never lose their gurgle;
There I’ll
lay down life’s loss
Triumph o’er
crushing forces.
