To my family,
I ask you for forgiveness for the pain I cause you, but some day I shall have to dieand it is better that I die now in the plentitude of my conscience.
Dear parents and brothers: give thanks to God that I may preserve my tranquilitybefore my death. I die resigned, hoping that with my death you will be left inpeace. Ah! It is better to die than to live suffering. Console yourselves.
I enjoin you to forgive one another the little meanness of life and try to live unitedin peace and good harmony. Treat your old parents as you would like to be
treated by your children later. Love them very much in my memory.
Bury me in the ground. Place a stone and a cross over it. My name, the date ofmy birth and of my death. Nothing more. If later you wish to surround my gravewith a fence, you can do it. No anniversaries. I prefer Paang Bundok.
Have pity on poor Josephine.

Royal Fort of Santiago, 29 (?) December 1896
Mr. P. R.
My dear brother,
It has been four years and a half that we have not seen each other or have weaddressed one another in writing or orally. I do not believe this is due to lack ofaffection either on my part or yours but because knowing each other so well, wehad not need of words to understand each other.
Now that I am going to die, it is to you I dedicate my last words to tell you howmuch I regret to leave you alone in life bearing all the weight of the family and ofour old parents!

I think of how you have worked to enable me to have a career. I believe that Ihave not tried to waste my time. My brother: if the fruit has been bitter, it is not myfault; it is the fault of circumstances. I know that you have suffered much becauseof me: I am sorry.
I assure you, brother, that I die innocent of this crime of rebellion. If my formerwritings had been able to contribute towards it, I should not absolutely deny it, butthen I believe I expiated my past with my exile.
Tell our father that I remember him, but how? I remember my whole childhood, histenderness and his love. Ask him to forgive me for the pain I have unwillingly
caused him.
Your brother,
Jos Rizal

My Last Farewell
Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed,Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost,
With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed;And were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best,
I would still give it to you for your welfare at most.
On the fields of battle, in the fury of fight,Others give you their lives without pain or hesitancy,The place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white,
Scaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site,
It is the same if asked by home and Country.
I die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to showAnd at last announce the day, after a gloomy night;
If you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow,Pour my blood and at the right moment spread it so,
And gild it with a reflection of your nascent light!

My dreams, when scarcely a lad adolescent,
My dreams when already a youth, full of vigor to attain,Were to see you, gem of the sea of the Orient,
Your dark eyes dry, smooth brow held to a high planevWithout frown, without wrinkles and of shame without stain.
My life's fancy, my ardent, passionate desire,Hail! Cries out the soul to you, that will soon part from thee;
Hail! How sweet 'tis to fall that fullness you may acquire;To die to give you life, 'neath your skies to expire,And in your mystic land to sleep through eternity !
If over my tomb some day, you would see blow,A simple humble flow'r amidst thick grasses,Bring it up to your lips and kiss my soul so,
And under the cold tomb, I may feel on my brow,Warmth of your breath, a whiff of your tenderness.

Let the moon with soft, gentle light me descry,Let the dawn send forth its fleeting, brilliant light,
In murmurs grave allow the wind to sigh,And should a bird descend on my cross and alight,
Let the bird intone a song of peace o'er my site.
Let the burning sun the raindrops vaporizeAnd with my clamor behind return pure to the sky;
Let a friend shed tears over my early demise;And on quiet afternoons when one prays for me on high,
Pray too, oh, my Motherland, that in God may rest I.
Pray thee for all the hapless who have died,For all those who unequalled torments have undergone;
For our poor mothers who in bitterness have cried;For orphans, widows and captives to tortures were shied,
And pray too that you may see you own redemption.

And when the dark night wraps the cemet'ry
And only the dead to vigil there are left alone,Don't disturb their repose, don't disturb the mystery:
If you hear the sounds of cithern or psaltery,It is I, dear Country, who, a song t'you intone.
And when my grave by all is no more remembered,With neither cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let it be plowed by man, with spade let it be scatteredAnd my ashes ere to nothingness are restored,
Let them turn to dust to cover your earthly space.
Then it doesn't matter that you should forget me:Your atmosphere, your skies, your vales I'll sweep;Vibrant and clear note to your ears I shall be:
Aroma, light, hues, murmur, song, moanings deep,Constantly repeating the essence of the faith I keep.

My idolized Country, for whom I most gravely pine,
Dear Philippines, to my last goodbye, oh, harkenThere I leave all: my parents, loves of mine,
I'll go where there are no slaves, tyrants or hangmenWhere faith does not kill and where God alone does reign.
Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me,Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed;
Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day;Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my
way;Farewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.
