 SILENT HOUR

Whoever weeps somewhere out in the world

Weeps without cause in the world

Weeps over me.

Whoever laughs somewhere out in the night

Laughs without cause in the night

Laughs at me.

Whoever wanders somewhere in the world

Wanders in vain in the world

Wanders to me.

Whoever dies somewhere in the world

Dies without cause in the world

Looks at me. 9
