Poem of the Reason for Cheer

 



 
     We live in astounded wonder
     At change of contrasting events.
     Viennas horrors and hunger
     Threw us into chills and cold sweat.

     And that, which we left on the east side -
     Unfathomable to the mind.
     In some times and dates you are trusting,
     Not knowing yet how and why.

     You arent weak in the soul, I am sure,
     As you lean over life, like an urn:
     In a republic miniature
     The big order has been born.

     Perhaps we are broken in hope
     And thrown into an abyss:
     Were sated, were sated, and so
     Were ready for faith and for bliss.

     We trust - we cant not trust, I found!
     We wait - we cant not wait in our turn!
     That world will in that measure be crowned
     Which divine grace will return.
