Catalogue Note
The wine we will drink,
it has to be sweet,
the things we make,
they have to be clean and practical,
clever a man,
clever our house,
for that, there's good food soon,
for that, there's a trade guild,
and good that's how you're appreciated,
that's how houses are needed still,
and when the times point to things grim,
we still have ourselves,
on New Year's Eve we will be together telling each other how the year holds meaning in it,
sleeping we will be for so long
until the deferment is seventeen.
Then it will turn out how one divides oneself up.
That's how it is with us
that's how we want it with you.
Then it will go away and it will go well.
