If I knew I was going to die tomorrow,And Spring came the day after tomorrow,I would die peacefully, because it came the day after tomorrow.If thats its time, when else should it come?I like it that everything is real and everything is right;And I like that it would be like this even if I didnt like it.And so, if I die now, I die peacefullyBecause everything is real and everything is right.
