Yonder Setting Sun
I have taken my final arrow,
My race has now been run
I’ll depart from here and go in peace
Into yonder setting sun
I will climb aboard the ship of death
And cross the chilling tide
I will go to yonder setting sun
As on this ship I will ride
I will not fear what lies ahead,
Or what I cannot tell
I’ll stand upon the bough and wave
To this life farewell
I will now close my eyes in death,
Weary from the race I’ve run
As upon the bough of death’s ship I will ride
To yonder setting sun
