My parting gift
Language: English 
White wings in an open sky,
Clouds circling in the wind's embrace,
Sands that lie close to the sea,
All the glories of a western sun,
Pour down on me!
Oh, my love! That I might give these
As my parting gift!
 
The memory of a summer's night,
The ecstasy of sea and wind,
Birds in flight, and the sun
pouring down its ancient light.
Oh, my love! That I might give these
As my parting gift!
