JOE HILL'S LAST WILL

My will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kin don't need to fuss and moan,
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."

My body? Oh, if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow,
My dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my Last and final Will.
Good Luck to All of you,
Joe Hill

MIN SISTA VILJA

Ture Nerman.
Ture Nerman.
Min sista vilja lättlydd är,
ty intet finns att dela här.
En sten, som ständigt rullar grå,
den växer ingen mossa på.

Min kropp - om mig min vilja sker,
till aska bränner ni den ner
och strö mitt stoft i vindens dans
bland några blommor små nånstans.

Kanhända ger den liv på nytt
åt någon stjälk, vars kraft har flytt.
Så är vad allt till sist jag vill.
Och alla allting gott!
Joe Hill
