I know of only one duty, and that is to love.

We know their hands, their eyes will fade,

But let them for today remain.


We know eventually

Lights do dim.

But now let them stay,

Before that night so grim.


We know will does waver.

But let action now pass.

Let us be our saviors.


We know the wind

Away will drift.

But now let it fill us,

Give us lift.


We know the music

Of our lives will cease.

But for this moment,

Let us play our piece.


Let it ring out,

So that no one

In the present moment

Will be deaf to

Our affecting,

Our forceful,

Our penetrating shout!
