  2. TO JENNY Jenny! Teasingly you may inquire Why my songs "To Jenny" I address, When for you alone my pulse beats higher, When my songs for you alone despair, When you only can their heart inspire, When your name each syllable must confess, When you lend each note melodiousness, When no breath would stray from the Goddess? 'Tis because so sweet the dear name sounds, And its cadence says so much to me, And so full, so sonorous it resounds, Like to vibrant Spirits in the distance, Like the gold-stringed Cithern's harmony, Like some wondrous, magical existence. See! I could a thousand volumes fill, Writing only "Jenny" in each line, Still they would a world of thought conceal, Deed eternal and unchanging Will, Verses sweet that yearning gently still, All the glow and all the Aether's shine, Anguished sorrow's pain and joy divine, All of Life and Knowledge that is mine. I can read it in the stars up younder, From the Zephyr it comes back to me, From the being of the wild waves' thunder. Truly, I would write it down as a refrain, For the coming centuries to see -- LOVE IS JENNY, JENNY IS LOVE'S NAME.

  4. The Internationale Stand up, all victims of oppression For the tyrants fear your might Don’t cling so hard to your possessions For you have nothing, if you have no rights Let racist ignorance be ended For respect makes the empires fall Freedom is merely privilege extended Unless enjoyed by one and all Chorus: So come brothers and sisters For the struggle carries on The internationale Unites the world in song So comrades come rally For this is the time and place The international ideal Unites the human race… Karl Marx (1818-1883)
