I fell. Nobody picked me up.
All day the cars went over me—
The light tanks and the heavy tanks,
The thunderous artillery.

Now all my bones are powder-fine;
The stones are grouted with my blood;
I am become the road—the way—
I thank thee, Fuehrer. It is good.

All that thou bade me, that I did;
Gave gladly all I had to give.
Great Fuehrer, let thy will be done—
@3But yet I would have liked to live!@1
