THE SONG OF MY LIFE.

AN ANSWER.

(Submitted).

When the embrace and caress Awaken other children in the morning, I am alone, I am an orphan— I am a stone to people.

When another’s hand clasps A father’s friendly hand; When happiness gleams for others, After an embrace, on a mother’s brow.

Who will willingly give me their hand? Whom will my embrace not weary? I am alone, I am an orphan— I am a stone to people!

I had a star somewhere in the sky, Which I already considered my own— The star said: I am for you Too brilliant, too bright.

And the gates to my happiness No one bothers to open, For I am alone, I am an orphan— For I am a stone to people!

Oh, my dreams and youth! What good are you to me without love— Without pure, holy love, Incomprehensible in this world— Without love, life is nothing, Even in the heavens, even in the blue. Kazimierz Snopek.
