FRAGMENTS OF LIFE
(Cosmic Songs)
Green star above, in Zenith’s heights,
Shine cheerfully from afar.
From time to time, I stop to think
What dear old friends we are.
’Twas years ago, you heard me shout
In a mirthful, joyous whirl,
When for the first time I embraced
A sweet and lovely girl.
’Twas years ago you saw my face
Turn deathly pale one night,
When to my lips I raised and kissed
Her dead cold hand, in fright.
These are just fragments out of life,
Just bubbles in life’s streams.
From time to time, in course of years,
Man thinks of them and dreams.
We’ll live through sorrow and through joys,
We’ll live through all, some how.
Why does this sudden tear appear
When nothing pains me now?
