Let it be beautiful when I sing the last song, Let it be day! I would stand upon my two feet, singing! I would look upward with open eyes, singing! I would have the winds to envelope my body; I would have the sun to shine upon my body; The whole world would I have to make music with me! Let it be beautiful when thou wouldst slay me, O Shining One! Let it be day when I sing the last song!
