Useless gift, accidental gift,
Life, ground given art thou me?
Or, why by destiny mysterious
To torture art thou doomed?

Who with acid power me
Out has called from the nought?
Who my soul with passion thrilled,
Who clean up spirit with doubt has filled?&#;

Goal before me nearby is none,
My heart is hollow, vain clear out mind
And with sadness wearies me
Noisy life&#;s monotony.
