Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die I have sent up my gladness on wings, to be lost in the blue o f the sky I have run and leaped with the rain, / have taken the w ind to my breast
My cheek like a drowsy child to theface o f the earth I have pressed.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I have kissed young love on the lips, / have heard his song to the end
I have struck my hand like a seal in the loyal hand o f a friend I have known the peace o f heaven, the comfort o f work done well
I have longedfor death in the darkness and risen alive out o f hell \ Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I give a share o f my soul to the world, when and where my course is run
I know that another shallfinish the task I surely m ust leave undone
I know that no flower, norflin t was in vain on the path I once d id travel
But, I sipped nectar and wine when a ll o f life's mysteries d id slowly unravel
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
