Pete Seeger's own epitaph: To My Old Brown Earth

[DinahMoeHum]

To my old brown earth,
and to my deep blue sky —
I’ll now give these last few
molecules of “I.”

And you, who sing —
and you who stand nearby:
I do charge you
not to cry.

Guard well our human chain;
watch well you keep it strong,
as long as sun will shine…

…and this, our home —
keep pure and sweet and green,
for I am yours,
and you are also mine."


Fair Winds and Godspeed, Pete Seeger
