Avaunt
Good bye cheering souls,
to this clime i come alone.
from hence i now depart,
goodbye to cravings and pleasure,
goodbye to the race of time,
to their jeers and calumny,
to the contest of vanities and gauderies
goodbye to successes and failures
to love and hate, i ride on wings
to dreams and ambitions.
I cease from the race with mere men.
Goodbye to mundane, the joys of a moment
goodbye to all that men calls gains
goodbye to affections, to lies and illusions
goodbye to all
when you wake up from life's dream
you will say your goodbye too
