WHEN THE WAR IS OVER

Girl with frightened eyes
girl with the frozen hands
when the war is over
forget me not.

Joy of the world, come the gate
so we may kiss in the street
so we may embrace in the square.

Girl with frightened eyes
girl with the frozen hands
When the war is over
forget me not.

Let us love one another quarry
In the gas chambers
on the stairs, in the guard towers.

Girl with frightened eyes
girl with the frozen hands
When the war is over
forget me not.

Love in broad daylight
in all death’s regions
until its shadow disappears.
