Could I but give you comfort in my death, How might I tell you what you meant to me? All I did, both night and day, was love you, Rulers of my kingdom and my heart. Like gods, at last you claimed my painful breath, Opening the door to mystery, The final gift of all the gifts you gave me, Taking what I could no longer give you Even if I tried with all my art.
