Chapter 4 "It's a Cowardly World"

"It's a Cowardly World"① It's a cowardly world: Can't tolerate love, can't tolerate love! loose your hair, bare your feet; Come with me, my love, abandon the world Sacrifice our love! I hold your hand, love, you follow me; Let the thorns pierce the soles of our feet, Let the hailstones break our heads, you follow me, I hold your hand, Escaped from prison and regained our freedom! follow me my love! The world has fallen behind our backs,— Look, isn't this the white sea? the white sea, the white sea, Boundless freedom, I and you and love! follow my finger,

The little blue star beyond that day— It was an island with green grass, Flowers, fair beasts and birds; Come aboard this light boat, To the ideal heaven—— In love, in joy, in freedom— Farewell to the world, forever!
