Whistling the Last Melody
Rain that slowly pelts
on the roses in sorrow,
don't make them weep any longer,
instead whisper the last melody
that they learned from the merry lark
that helped them through their agony!
Thousands are the warm raindrops
that fall from swollen clouds
effecting the words I'm writing
on the lines of this notebook;
rain of the happiest of seasons,
keep these tears from falling and save
this poem from disappearing:
everybody must know of my legacy!
Cliff swallows gathered
under the dripping gutters,
raise your soft churs
to the immense space
and supplicate the unstoppable rain
to cease and make you sing
more harmoniously than ever!
Lilies of delicate aspect, don't erase the candor
which made me unique in all emotions
and thoughts, leave it intact as my character;
o flowers chosen by me for their purity:
adorn my grave until November arrives
and gelid wind will disperse them!
How much joy it would offer me, beyond relief,
if strangers who appreciate my humane poetry
brought flowers from a near meadow
and lied them down gently and whistling
the last melody, so cheerfully, recognized
what I heartedly gave to all of Humanity!
