Many an evil, many a bliss
Go to make existence' hell
But the greatest evil of all is this
To live and to know it well
Since this from life at once we see
Thus simply gathered
Must not the greatest bliss then be
To die and know oneself dead?
That's true, as far as I guess
That's true and impossible
As far as I know and tell
So much for happiness!
