My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
I die just when I see the dawn break, And whe n the d ark nig ht wr ap s the gr ave y ar d ar ound
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the d e ad in the ir v ig il to s e e
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, B re ak not m y re p os e or the m ys tery p r of ound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And pe rc hanc e thou m ays t he ar a s ad hym n re s ound
To dye with its crimson the waking ray. ' T is I, O my c ountry, r aising a s ong unto the e .
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, The n will ob liv ion br ing to me no c ar e
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As ove r thy v ale s and p lains I s we e p;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Thr ob b ing and c le anse d in thy s p ace and air
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With c olor and lig ht, with s ong and lame nt I f are ,
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Ev e r re p e ating the f aith that I k ee p .
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, M y F athe rland ad or' d, that s ad ne ss to my sor r ow le nd s
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, B e lov ed F ilip inas, he ar now m y las t g ood -b y!
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I g ive the e all: p are nts and k indr ed and f r iend s
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below F or I g o wher e no s lav e be f or e the op pr es s or b e nds ,
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Whe r e f aith c an ne ve r kill, and God r e ig ns e ' er on hig h!
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, F are well to y ou all, f r om m y s oul tor n away,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, F rie nds of m y c hild hood in the home disp oss e ss ed !
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Giv e thanks that I re s t fr om the we ar is om e d ay !
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, F are well to the e, too, s we e t f rie nd that lig hte ne d m y w ay;
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. B e lov ed cre ature s all, f are well! I n d e ath ther e is re s t!
