THE WISH
Oh! Please, give us a tomb!
A tomb for our souls,
we plead you,
we implore you,
dear God,
dear people,
dear brothers,
little brothers and little sisters,
give us a tomb,
a safe tomb,
with a shroud made of sweetness,
a place to console us,
a nice place,
to erase the infamy,
a beautiful tomb for us!
for our poor bodies,
so sore,
and tough,
from that volcanic lime!
