In the shadow of a history deep,
Where memories, silent, vigil keep,
Stands a relic of a time now gone,
The Simson Schwalbe, once ridden on.

East Germany's streets it roamed with pride,
A symbol in a divided stride,
Its wheels whispered tales of yore,
Of a land split by a cold war's sore.

Parked now in stillness, in quiet wait,
In front of a wall, a bearer of fate,
With a print so odd, black and white,
Echoing stories of a bygone plight.

This scooter, a fragment of GDR's past,
A narrative of a time that didn't last,
Its frame, a testament to a different age,
A chapter in history, a forgotten page.

The wall it faces, stark and bare,
With patterns odd, yet full of flair,
A canvas of the times that were,
Of silent hopes, and silent fear.

Together they stand, the scooter and wall,
Witnesses to rise, witnesses to fall,
In their stillness, a loud history speaks,
Of dreams once dreamt, in days now bleak.

The Simson Schwalbe, in its quiet way,
A relic of East Germany's day,
Rests under skies, changing and wide,
A symbol of a journey, a historical ride.

So let it stand, in reverent grace,
A memory of a different place,
Where once it rode, in a land divided,
A symbol of a time, now united.
