Bertolt Brecht Never Poems
- 1. I Never Loved You More
I never loved you more, ma soeur
Than as I walked away from you that evening.
The forest swallowed me, the blue forest, ma soeur
The blue forest and above it pale stars in the west.
... - 2. How Fortunate The Man With None
From the play 'Mother Courage'
You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
... - 3. From A German War Primer
AMONGST THE HIGHLY PLACED
It is considered low to talk about food.
The fact is: they have
Already eaten.
... - 4. Solidarity Song
Peoples of the world, together
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.
... - 5. To Those Born After
I
To the cities I came in a time of disorder
That was ruled by hunger.
... - 6. To The Students Of The Workers' And Peasants' Faculty
So there you sit. And how much blood was shed
That you might sit there. Do such stories bore you?
Well, don't forget that others sat before you
who later sat on people. Keep your head!
... - 7. Ich Habe Dich Nie Je So Geliebt
I never loved you more, ma soeur
Than as I walked away from you that evening.
The forest swallowed me, the blue forest, ma soeur
The blue forest and above it pale stars in the west.
