"Im traurigen Monat November war’s,
Die Tage wurden trueber,
Der Wind riss von den Baeumen das Laub,
Da reist ich nach Deutschland hinueber.
Und als ich an die Grenze kam,
Da fuehlt ich an die Grenze kam,
Da fuehlt ich ein staerkeres Klopfen
In meiner Brust, ich glaube sogar
Die Augen begunnen zu tropfen.
Und als ich die deutsche Sprache vernahm, Da ward mir seltsam zumute;
Ich meinte nicht anders, als ob das Herz. Recht angenehm verblute.
Ein kleines Harfenmaedchen sang. Sie sang mit wahrem Gefuehle und falscher Stimme, doch ward ich sehr Geruehret von ihrem Spiele.
Sie sang von Liebe und Liebesgram, Aufopfrung und Wiederfinden, Dort oben, in jener besseren Welt, Wo alle Leiden schwinden.
Sie sang vom irdischen Jammertal, von Freuden, die bald zerronnen, Vom Jenseits, wo die Seele schwelgt Verklaert in ew'gen Wonnen.
Sie sang das alte Entsagungslied, Das Eiapopeia vom Himmel, womit man einlullt, wenn es greint, Das Volk, den grossen Luemmel.
Ich kenne die Weise, ich kenne den Text, ich kenn auch die Herren Verfasser; Ich weiss, sie tranken heimlich Wein und predigten oeffentlich Wasser.
Ein neus Lied, ein besseres Lied. "

Excuse me, I was just having a flashback
I just had a flashback. One of those weird ones.
I remember being in... 5th or 6th grade and one adult was having a conversation with another adult. I was right there in the conversation for some reason. What I remember the most is that I tried to insert my opinion and they both just stared at me with that "you're a child and you don't know anything" look. Then they went back to talking.
I feel like this may have impacted me life somehow... I am almost 21... do you think I'm at that age when people will take my comments seriously? Am I there yet? I don't think so. I feel like people will still shake their heads and think, "she's so young, she doesn't know."
Perhaps I don't, but being listened to by older people would be nice every now and then.
