To die - takes just a little while [Italian translation]

To die - takes just a little while

They say it doesn't hurt

It's only fainter - by degrees

And then - it's out of sight

A darker Ribbon - for a Day

A Crape upon the Hat

And then the pretty sunshine comes

And helps us to forget

The absent - mystic - creature

That but for love of us

Had gone to sleep - that soundest time

Without the weariness
