I am calm, - He disclosed everything to me.
"Don’t hide", - he ordered - and I say:
All, who hunted me, beat or betrayed me, -
Will be punished by the one, whom I serve.
I don’t know, how - a knife under the ribs,
Or burn down their house and all the property,
Or close up the ranks, dismiss, deprive of freedom...
Whe I also don’t know - during the year.
Afterwards, now, and maybe - already:
Fate is not to be avoided at the curve.
And on its crooked way it’s not to be overtaken,
Regardless also of the consequences to elape...
And I? - what! I am calm at least about myself
Throw at us stones, hail or a buck-shot.
