Impulse govern choice

Robert Rittel 1960 (Koblenz)

Ballad
World at stage in ones act
infectious comedy naming facts
trapped in mirror of shadows
cannot escape from living arrows
words that hide reality
rising above facts duality
devotion that gives all
identify pursuing call
love’s meaning as a thing
that keeps back nothing
eternal promised union
virtues holy communion
subtle melodies refrain
loving texture in time
