Der Leiermann



Thomas Quasthoff (*9 November 1959)

Drüben hinterm Dorfe
Steht ein Leiermann,
Und mit starren Fingern
Dreht er, was er kann.


Barfuß auf dem Eise
Wankt er hin und her;

Und sein kleiner Teller
Bleibt ihm immer leer.


Keiner mag ihn hören,
Keiner sieht ihn an;

Und die Hunde knurren
Um den alten Mann.


Und er läßt es gehen
Alles, wie es will,

Dreht, und seine Leier
Steht ihm nimmer still.

Wunderlicher Alter,
Soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern
Deine Leier dreh'n?


by Wilhelm Müller (7 October 1794 – 30 September 1827) 
Franz Schubert (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828)

Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Thoughts

If man does not
eliminate war from history
it will be war
that eliminates man
from history.

Friday is Skyday

It was a fine place
to speak about refugees.
And to talk with some.
