Now, all is finished

A. Hinton

Now, all is finished.

Nothing now remains,

only the tears bequeathed to us by Nature,

and the cry from the heart

when no longer can man

endure his pain.

To me, above all,

she gave melody and words

so that I could sing of my deepest sorrow.

Others may be dumb in their sufferings,

But God gave me a gift to tell of mine.
