[the Day of Festival has come at (last] time i saw Miriam she said)
[when all the boys and girls begin to (sing] to me a lullaby tonight)
[when no one cares a whit about the (past] and future times to me are dead)
[and every man can feel like he’s a (king] s and queens have faded from my sight)
[from where they came and where they’re going (to] you my friend i give my last request)
[not a single soul has cause to (care] for me as i would do for you)
[there’s just so many better things to (do] not keep me from my final rest)
[than ponder over what or why or (where] i will wait in peacefulness for you)
[today these people live for only (now] i feel my end approaching fast)
[neverminding who or how or (when] i shall find myself at Heaven’s door)
[only this to be their solemn (vow] to me you’ll meet me there at last)
[that they must frolic every now and (then] i shall close my eyes forevermore)
[yet all must change when following To(day] in day out she says it all again)
[these hes and hers return to being (they] say that she won’t take her medicine)
