It won't be darker   Everyone told me   It won't be darker   A flowery phrase   Some friends are leaving   They simply go to sleep   And shaking darkness   Slowly ripening   I saw a weary man   He watched the playground   Where children dreamed of things he used to dream of...   "One says that every sort of human being loses, after reaching    a certain age, his ability to see   The world with amazing eyes. But who can maintain this without the knowledge,   Without the wisdom of infinity? We're still dazzling ourselves with    sparks of ignorance.    I won't go that way!"   I saw the weary man   He turned his heart away from the playground   He looked so sad - as sad as me
