A Soldier's Last Breath
He gazes across the sky,
Beyond the stars, into such beauty that;
Never seems to die,
Perhaps this is where his comrade resides,
For it always brought tears to his eyes.
Wait for me comrade, wait for me,
Together we shall be,

Gold dust! Gold dust! O' Fairy lights,
Floating, floating to my lullaby,
Illuminating the night as they fly.
O' sweet, sweet moon smiling down upon me,
With your eyes of wisdom and knowledge keen,
O' sweet, sweet moon who loves to sit,
And sing by the seas till s
