Living
At the Cross-Road
Translated by William N. Loew (1912) · From Selected Lyrics
Living
To the crossroad I have come,
I would like to know:
Is it East or is it West
That I ought to go?
It is all the same to me,
Go I here or go I not
Anywhere and everywhere
Sorrow is my lot.
If I could only know it where
Death does for me wait:
The road to choose which takes me there
I would not hesitate.
