Скачать или смотреть Warm Summer Sun by Francisco Javier Jáuregui

The words of this song composed by Francisco Javier Jáuregui are those chosen by American Author Mark Twain (1835-1910) for the tombstone of his daughter Susy Clemens who died at the age of 24 from spinal meningitis. The text is actually an adaptation of the last lines of a longer poem by Australian writer Robert Richardson (1850–1901). The words call on nature to be clement with the place where the loved one rests.
The song is both a celebration of life, and a final goodbye.

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
