Classic Poem

Welt ist dumm, die Welt ist blind, Die

Die Welt ist dumm, die Welt ist blind

The world is dull, the world is blind.
Each day more of a mad one!
It says, my dear, that, to its mind,
Your character's a bad one.

The world is dull, the world is blind.
Its dullness is really distressing;
It does not know how clinging and kind
Are your kisses that burn with their blessing.English
