nadja	kein Mensch kann segeln ganz ohne Wind kein Mensch kann wissen, was Wünsche sind wer kennt sich ganz genau wer stellt sich ganz zur Schau ?

	kein Mensch ist ganz ohne Widersinn kein Diener und keine Königin und wer das nicht bedenkt hat leicht sein Glück verschenkt verschenkt

	wir finden Gefallen an dem, was wir sehn um erst, wenn wir fallen uns selbst zu verstehn

	kein Mensch ist ganz ohne Hintersinn kein Bettler und keine Bürgerin und wer das nicht bedenkt hat leicht sein Glück verschenkt verschenkt

	wir lassen uns leiten von dem, was wir sehn um erst, wenn wir gleiten uns selbst zu verstehn

	wer nichts verrät und nichts verspricht nur der verirrt sich nicht pass auf, gib acht pass auf, gib acht

	kein Wort ist ganz ohne Nebenklang kein frommer Gruß und kein Abgesang und was ganz arglos scheint ist selten so gemeint gemeint

	wir lassen uns führen von dem, was wir hörn um erst dann zu spüren dass wir uns zerstörn

	wer nichts verrät und nichts verspricht nur der verirrt sich nicht pass auf, gib acht pass auf, gib acht
