Who never ate his bread with tears <br />and never cried through sleepless nights <br />he cannot know you, gods and fears. <br />You place us here, from Heaven's heights <br />and then entice the poor to sin, <br />abandoning him in his pain, <br />all that he carries deep within. <br />Yet vengeance always comes again.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goethe-translated-harfenspieler/
