   (WIKIPEDIA/ Threepenny Opera) Amazing final verse!
   The rarely heard final verse—not included in the original play, but added by Brecht for the 1931 movie—expresses the theme and compares the glittering world of the rich and powerful with the dark world of the poor:

   Denn die einen sind im Dunkeln
   Und die andern sind im Licht
   Und man siehet die im Lichte
   Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht.

   There are some who are in darkness
   And the others are in light
   And you see the ones in brightness
   Those in darkness drop from sight.
