My Grave

The dawn of life wakes me.
My grave, where I lay softly slumbering,

The darkness of life lulls me into a deep sleep.
My grave, where I lay softly slumbering,

A cat comes to the blades of grass upon my grave,

In the morning, filling its hunger upon my grass,
Under the night sky, lying down upon my grass to dream.
