“Late Fragment”
By Raymond Carver
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved,
to feel myself beloved on the earth.
Late Fragment is the epilogue of Jake Heggie's Winter Roses song cycle. The original poem was written by Raymond Carver, a well-known American author and poet.
