The first two lines write what the stragglers do. The next two lines then change the perspective as in a film and turn to the cells windows.

I have found a mp3 explanation of the poem here – there is also reference to the text on the Internet – but there are surprisingly lines 3 and 4 different. The rest then agrees with your edition.

The rest doesn’t even do about it, because only the 2nd line of the 1st and 3rd stanzas and the last 3 lines of the sonnet match.

But there’s another version of 1924, where the proletes have become “worn” who stumble “as blinded” and this version is no longer a sonnet, because from the two terzettes only 2 lines are left, see.

The T frequently form a kind of evaluation of the situation described in the Q. Look if this fits.

Thanks for the hint, I’ll look at that. I was just talking about the two versions that were found here:

On the specified page you will find a more detailed description of the individual verses. Look again, that seems to have been updated.
Otherwise you just have to see how far in the two T is something different than in the two Q. Little Tip: Spring, of which is in the first two verses, no speech if I see it right.
