When The Day Of Darkness Comes

WHEN THE DAY OF DARKNESS COMES

When the day of darkness comes
And it will come-
And when I can no longer see or feel the world-
When I am gone
Forever gone-
The same flowers and trees
The same sky
The same morning light
The same human dreams
The same loves and hates and sadnesses and joys
The same human condition
Will still be-

When I am no longer here
You will go on as you always have-

O world,
What will I do without you?
