I’ve bought a piece of ground

Looking to the west -

See! the setting sun -

A place at last to rest.

 

Oh peace! I have arrived

After exile, home.

Green field earth my bed,

The sky a blue-gold dome.

 

In years to come I’ll know

Shining there for me

Star-like flowers grow

For all eternity.
