Epitaph 1919
Red Rosa has also now disappeared
Where she lies is unknown
Because she told the truth to the poor
The rich have hunted her out of the world.
Epitaph for Karl Liebknecht
Here lies
Karl Liebknecht
The fighter against war
When he was struck down
Our city still continued to stand.
Epitaph for Rosa Luxemburg
Here lies buried
Rosa Luxemburg
A Jewess from Poland
Champion of the German workers
Murdered on the orders of
The German oppressors. Oppressed;
Bury your differences!
Translated from the German by V.P. Sharma
