“Darest thou now O Soul,
Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region,
Where neither ground is for the feet
nor any path to follow?”

“Noch ein Stein und noch ein Stein,
Und ein wenig Speiß,
Glühend sticht der Sonnenschein,
Und der Stein ist heiß !
Kalk her ! Ziegel her !
Eilt, Handlanger, eilt !
Weiß der Kuckuck selbst nicht mehr,
Wo ihr Faulen weilt !”

(Carmen Sylva in Maurerlied)

“Well, it’s up in the mornin’ tryin’ to find a job of work
Stand in one place till your feet begin to hurt
If you got a lot o’ money you can make yourself merry …”
