Fragrant in the Fragrant Air

Take these words my child and go

Unfaltering upon your way,

I bless you with these final words

Be truthful to your soul each day.

Daughter who loved me not, grieve not

For I have lived ten thousand hours

Now at peace with world and men

My body shall bring forth bright flowers

That all these years my hands did tend.

For me there is no lasting sorrow

Who have loved the earth and shared its tears

Though I may live to see the morrow

Soon the body shall resign

Its clay to Matter's thorough care

Gentle in the evening's glow,

Fragrant in the fragrant air.
