Life?

My corpse turns against me.

Breath does not breathe,

life does not live,

tears do not fall,

balance is not more!

Cold am I, poor, tired,

hungry am I.

Where is hope, love, faith?

Abandoned am I!

 

I am sick. Lonely is my soul,

I long for peace.

I long, I long, I long!

Joy where have you gone?

Show me your face.

What road is this I travel?

 

Happy was I. Loved, pampered -

cossetted was I.

Born, fed and clothed was I.

Formed in my mother’s womb,

fashioned in His likeness,

I am here – I live!
