Onward, onward, ever onward! Where are you running to?
Streets and lanes, to the right or the left
May the heavens, may the sun show us foolish ones
"Where is the vow?"
Do you find completeness, then,
Spending days busily working?
They're frauds! They're fakes! Everyone! Everyone!
Somebody flatters everybody!
Unknown, someone makes the world turn!
That's how it is, "The Way of the World." Sure enough!
We are the rabbits!
Funny, happy, hopping on the heath.
No one knows how we,
Empty-headed and bare naked, still live.
We have no questions, just a big dream
That strangles us! Madness!
It lies with the rye bread as a showpiece
Alone it plays on the plate like rubble and ash!
Now I have nothing! Where is it? I know not where?
"The importance of my life"
We search! We rummage! Wherever it may be!
The inside of drawers, skirts or pocketbooks.
Terrible! Horrible! We rush! We search!
An invisible devil shall come with much loud thunder.
We must find it or flee before he devours us!
