That was then
Here am I:
Never there again.
...
What is lost is never gone.
It is hidden well with care,
...
The time is now, against the tears,
to garner up the valor:
...
Who are we without another?
A query of the soul to bother....
Who's a man without his brother?
An infant girl without her mother?
...
O, birds of the trees
and mice of the hills
on the wings of the breeze
...
O tears, what you behold
in terms of force and power
...
When passing through the path ahead
fall not into your fears.
...
Leave behind a lasting mem'ry
in the world when you depart;
...
