social horizon for recreation; and fitness. The former is performed in
competitions and are referred to as competitive ballroom dancing. The

difficulty and is limited to five dancers per category only. They are cha
cha cha, rumba, samba, paso doble and jive for the Latin category
and slow

My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.

On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
plight, And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need.
And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around
I die just when I see the dawn break, With only the dead in their vigil to see
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; Break not my repose or the mystery profound
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, And perchance thou mayst hear a sad hymn resound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake ' T is I, O my country, raising a song unto thee.
To dye with its crimson the waking ray.
And even my grave is remembered no more
My dreams, when life first opened to me, Unmark'd by never a cross nor a stone
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Let the plow sweep through it, the spade turn it o' er
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea That my ashes may carpet earthly f loor,
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; Before into nothingness at last they are blown.
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye.
Then will oblivion bring to me no care
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, As over thy vales and plains I sweep;
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; With color and l ight, with song and lament I fare, Ever
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; repeating the faith that I keep.
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night.
My Fatherland ador' d, that sadness to my sorrow lends Beloved
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, Filipinas, hear now my last good -by!
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, I give thee all: parents and kindred and friends
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, For I go where no slave before the oppressor bends,
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below Where faith can never kill, and God reigns e' er on high!
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power.
Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away,
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed! Give
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, thanks that I rest from the wearisome day!
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that l ightened my way; Beloved
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, creatures all, farewell! In death there is rest!
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes.
