JOE HILL'S LAST WILL

My will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kin don't need to fuss and moan,
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."

My body? Oh, if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow,
My dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my Last and final Will.
Good Luck to All of you,
Joe Hill

MITT TESTAMENTE

Jacob Branting.
Jacob Branting.
Mitt testamente blir helt kort
ty där finns intet att ge bort.
Det är ej stort att orda om:
»Bort går jag naken som jag kom.«

Så sprid min kropp som aska för
en lekfull vindil när jag dör,
och låt den falla ner som regn
på någon jordisk blomsteräng.

Kanhända att en blomma då
som slokar nytt liv kunde få.
Så vill jag ha det. Lycka till
ni alla människor.
Joe Hill
