I am no one and never will be anyone, / for I am far too small to claim to be; / not even later. / Mothers and Fathers, / take pity on me. / I fear it will not pay to raise me: / I shall fall victim to the mower's scythe. / No one can find me useful now: I am too young, / and tomorrow will be too late. / I only have one dress, / worn thin and faded, / but it will last an eternity / even before God, perhaps. / I only have this wispy hair / (that always remained the same) / yet once was someone's dearest love. / Now he has nothing that he loves.Rainer Maria Rilke
