Remember not this caravan of death,
But have belief that every little breath
Will stay with you for an eternity.”

Your afterlife is only real estate,
And in his kingdom Death must stay unseen.”

'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.
'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
'I never know what you are thinking. Think.”

“Stay with me.”
“We’re married,” she whispered. “Of course I’ll stay.”

“Führer, my Führer given me by God. Protect and preserve my life for long. You rescued Germany from its deepest need. I thank you for my daily bread. Stay for a long time with me, leave me not. Führer, my Führer, my faith, my light. Hail my Führer.”

“Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people's death.”
