Cry Before I Say Goodbye

Indeed someday I will be gone
down dusky hill like daylight Sun,
I will then be to graveside roses,
flaunt those flowers when I am close.

Someday I'll heed the clarion call
like autumn flowers fade and fall
and will not feel thy candle's glow,
O burn; pure passion let me know.

Like summer takes the thirsty crops
far from the fist of winter-drops,
I will not taste your tender tears,
cry now for me when I am near.
