We Have To Announce
next night in the subway to come without sleep
rereading the letter she got yesterday
"We have to announce with regret true and deep ..."
her husband had died on the second of May
she asked herself how she could tell it her son
rereading the letter she got yesterday
plans for the future at one blow were gone
shocked and deprived of the power of speech
she asked herself how she could tell it her son
no persons of trust and no help within reach
harried by black thoughts, recurring and dire
shocked and deprived of the power of speech
his unit in Kharkiv had come under fire
she read disbelievingly in this short letter
harried by black thoughts, recurring and dire
without an idea how to deal with that matter
next night in the subway to come without sleep
she read disbelievingly in this short letter
"We have to announce with regret true and deep ..."
