time and need






extremely poor have no time for you

neither do they have need for eternity

when this one single life weighs so heavy

and leave no space for ease or rest



extremely rich have no need of you

neither do they have need for eternity

when they have all in one single life

with much time for ease and rest



it’s i who am neither rich nor poor

has need and time for you in excess

for i have fear i may end up poor

with that desire to imitate the rich
