[EVA]
The choice was mine
And mine completely
I could have any prize
That I desired
I could burn with the splendor
Of the brightest fire
Or else-- or else
I could choose time
Remember I was very young then
And a year
Was forever and a day
So what use
Could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights
And I was on my way
And how I lived!
How they shone!
But how soon
The lights were gone!
Oh my daughter
Oh my son
Understand
What I have done
