No Man Is an Iland... Songtext

von Ketil Bjornstad

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
Is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
Is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
Well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
Own were; any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
The bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
It tolls for thee.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
Is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Away by the sea

John Donne
