I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that
I can do.

There are two men in the world, who are crossing my path I see
And one is the man I love, the other’s in love with me…
…Between these two every woman stands, in love, beloved and white-
And once every hundred years it happens that both in one unite.

New weary sleep below:
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!
