I have faith --
I am too alone --
You see, I want a lot --
Because One Man --
My life is not --
I find you --
And then that girl --
I can hardly believe --
This is my labor --
All of you undisturbed cities --
How many thousands --
Just as the watchman --
In this town --
Sometimes a man stands up --
The king of the world --
Already the ripening barberries --
It's possible --
And the great cities --
And where is he --
THe Way In --

From Childhood --

A god can do it --
O you lovers that are so gentle --
Don't bother about a stone --
Is he from our world --
To praise is the whole thing --
Where praise already is --
Only the man who has raised his strings --
You stone coffins of the ancient world.
