The wind rises in the evening, Reminds that autumn is near. I am afraid to lose you, I am afraid of my fear. On the last mile to Huesca, The last fence for our pride, Think so kindly, dear, that I Sense you at my side. And if bad luck should lay my strength Into the shallow grave, Remember all the good you can; Don’t forget my love.”",
