Weep not for me

Weep not for me though I have gone

                Into that gentle night –

Grieve if you will, but not for long

Upon my soul’s sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest

There is no pain, I suffer not

The fear is now all gone –

Put now these things out of your thoughts

In your memory, I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath

Remember not the strife –

Please do not dwell upon my death

But celebrate my LIFE.
