It’s not too late to repark,
Closer and safer.
God protects the careful.
Time to understand how to choose,
To put it off again,
Or to load already.

Flags have been stuck in, zones marked,
Trust here, and there a drop-off,
Here you found,
And there it was lost,
Because you thought wrong and did the wrong thing.

Experience holds the cars on the rails,
And what I would always have wished for myself,
That the switchman not oversleep,
And not send
Along the wrong trajectory.
