Dear mother

This is a gesture of memory from your son,

Who lives seven hundred seas away,

I know how sad you must be without me.

But I am free here in this valley of shadows, free 

From all mundane avarice, misery, and tears, 

Resting now at peace for ever and a day. 

The flesh that once was sleek and sound 

Has given way to dust, and now only we, the bones, 

Remain to discuss upon my ruined destiny 

I do clearly remember that dawn when the unsung song 

Of sadness hung in the air, and I had to bid farewell 

To you all; the shadows had crowded over the dales

Whimpered on and on wagging its tail nervously

Would never bring its master back again.
