The Arched Gate

I went on this evening
before the most important day of my life
for a walk in Würzburg.
When the sun sank down, I felt
as if my luck was going down.
I was frightened when I thought
that I would have to part with everything,
with everything that I hold dear.
That I might have to part with everything,
with everything that I hold dear.
 
Then I went, turned inwards,
through the arched gate,
back to the city, lost in thoughts.
Why, I asked myself,
doesn't the vault sink in,
when it does not have any support?
It is standing, because all the stones
want to come down at once.
It is standing, because all the stones
want to come down at once -
and I gained an indescribable solace
from this thought,
that stood by my side
until this significant moment in hope
that I would also be able to hold myself up
when everything lets me sink down.
 
That I would also be able to hold myself up
when everything lets me sink down. (3x)
