  Death

Life is short lived
We all die at sunset
Our Life is played out
In the rising beams of dawn
And in the eastern light
We drink the Eucharist
Wine of life
And in honour of the dead!
Who hover for a little while
In a space above the earth
Of freshness and of flowers
And fell asleep - before yet
The early morning sun has set
