All that follows
Hearing the swallows
Care for song larks
Forever absorbed dark
Stepp around diamonds
Long crips garlands
It really is now
What pulls her down
Her sweat brow
Can't save her frown
But she lived there too
To invest last the few
Are you the best judge
When her life budged
Stay for her only then
Comfort has not been
What she will wish
Her favorite blue dish
Back to the heart of urn
All she did was to burn
There since you are
She does not go far
Live for the harvest of rye
She was the last to say goodbye.
Hearing the swallows
Care for song larks
Forever absorbed dark
Stepp around diamonds
Long crips garlands
It really is now
What pulls her down
Her sweat brow
Can't save her frown
But she lived there too
To invest last the few
Are you the best judge
When her life budged
Stay for her only then
Comfort has not been
What she will wish
Her favorite blue dish
Back to the heart of urn
All she did was to burn
There since you are
She does not go far
Live for the harvest of rye
She was the last to say goodbye.
