Classic Poem

Mit deinen grossen allwissenden Augen

Yes, you are right. Your lingering glances
Brim with a truth that makes me sad.
How could we two have met Life's chances —
You are so good, and I so bad.

I am so bitter and malicious;
Even my gifts bear wry respect
To you, who are so sweet and gracious
And oh, so righteously correct.
