(Eva:)The choice was mine, and mine completelyI could have any
prize that I desiredI could burn with the splendor of the
brightest fireOr else, or else I could choose timeRemember I was
very young thenAnd a year was forever and a daySo what use could
fifty, sixty, seventy be?I saw the lights, and I was on my wayAnd
how I lived, how they shoneBut how soon the lights were
gone(Che:)The choice was yours and noone else'sYou can cry
for a body in despairHang your head because she is no longer
thereTo shine, to dazzle, or betrayHow she lived, how she
shoneBut how soon the lights were gone(Embalmers:)Eyes, hair,
face, imageAll must be preservedStill life displayed forever
