To an earth windy with winter winds

You came naked as a child begins

You lay freezing, not owning anything

And a woman wrapped you in a nappy

No one's angry, just oblivious

You are unknown in the busyness

No one sends a limousine for you

But a man does take you by the hand

This world doesn't owe you anything

No one stops you from leaving

Did you manage to, like the children do

Get someone to weep along beside you?

From an earth windy with wintry winds

Staggering, wounded by scars and sins

Nearly everyone

Nearly everyone who lived has loved this world

When they chucked some clods of earth upon them
