Mother!

Mother! don't say My son passed on alone Here is the sky Washing me with the rain of her eyes The autumn has made me a coffin From its yellow leaves And this is the land Opening her arms wide to me And hugging me to her breast? No, dear mother! Don't say my son died alone, The land which I worshipped all my life Is sucking my blood, drop after drop, And gives me an eternal abode deep in her heart.

Sorry horus8, it seems I deleted your comment by mistake.
I wanted to reply and say: I am glad to read you again. It seemed to me you were absent for some time.
