Im Osten
By Eisen
In the field I danced
and so close was the bullet
it gave me a kiss
Last night in the snow
we found a man frozen dead
still wearing his coat
How many leaves
Falling so beautifully
to the machinegun
First it was the horse
then our engine froze and died
This night will be long
Mornings light he left
We thought Ivan would find him
Night time; he brought steak
