I live my life --
I have many brothers --
We don't dare --
I love the dark hours --
You darkness, that I come from --
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 --
Childhood --
From Childhood --
Sense of Something Coming --
Loneliness --
Human Being at Night --

A tree rising --
It was girl, really --
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.
