| | | WHAT is death to me now— | |
| Now my beloved is gone! | |
| A silence that cries aloud, | |
| An emptiness filled with dreams, | |
| An end that is but a beginning. | 5 |
| |
| What is the world to me now— | |
| Now my beloved is gone! | |
| Noise without meaning, | |
| Crowds without thought, | |
| Life that has lost its vitality. | 10 |
| And lives without love. | |
| |
| Let them sink their great ships, | |
| Let them fight their dark battles, | |
| Bring disaster and suffering and woe: | |
| What does it mean to me now— | 15 |
Now my beloved is gone!
Paris: February, 1917 | | | | |
