FINAL PLUNGE

FINAL PLUNGE


Don’t ask me why I end this life.
For me now it is of no use.
I hope that for this act of mine
You will me certainly excuse.

My life knew no pleasure or pain
Save your meeting and departing;
But now you are gone for ever
My pain is now everlasting.

For how long shall I bear this pain?
Why not end it once and for all?
As I now take the final plunge,
A happy thought does me enthrall.

I know that after my last breath,
I shall be rid of all the pain.
Ere long, my love, I verily
Will be with you yet once again!
