All these fragments of life,
My own piece fits no puzzle;
All these fragments of life,
My dreams the angels muzzle.

All these fragments of life,
I am fading now into shadow;
All these fragments of life,
And nothing more is hallow.

All these fragments of life,
No more thought, no opinion;
All these fragments of life,
Only moving toward oblivion.

All these fragments of life,
No more sound, only silence;
All these fragments of life,
No more sight or other sense.

All these fragments of life,
My shard of the cross fell;
All these fragments of life,
Along the nether sea I sail.

All these fragments of life,
Mine, none belong to me;
All these fragments of life,
Mine belonging not to any;
All these fragments of life,
Now I am a faded memory.
