UNTIL THE FINAL DAY

Until the final day

comes cold and gray

I shall remember

and regret,

and find no peace.

Until the final day

comes to close my eyes

and I shall think

no more thoughts

I shall remember

and regret.

Until the final day

comes in blistering heat

I shall remember

and regret,

and find no peace.

Until the final day

comes and all this

what remains of life

shall end in the void

I shall remember

and regret,

and find no peace.

Until the final day

I shall remember

and regret,

but after the final day

has come

I shall not remember

and I shall not

regret no more.

Until the final day

comes as diamonds

sparkle in the snow

I shall remember

and regret,

and find no peace.

Until the final day

I shall remember

and regret,

but on the final day

all I remember

and all I regret

will pass from the world.
