The leafs and I entangled dance a harmonie

I dare not stain with vain delight

And thus embraced we roam the passing eve like a

pillgrim who craves a shelters guiding light

I question thee, beloved night to calm my joy

so that I not like the weary leaves be strewed

For I submitt to thy solitary grace (as) even springs

life is by winters gaze subdued



Lost in a dream I beheld a maiden dance

And when she sat down by a sliver stream

Plunging her feet in the shallow waves

A mist descended, kissed her and fled

And all that's before been just and fair

Shattered in a rain of crystal shards

Each of them a cry, a dream, a tear



Nunquam submergiove aut diffugo

Ira inflammata mea vita ad salutem nominarit

Et solitudo meurn robur



Everlasting be the war that I declare

Extinguished thy bewitched spark despair

Torched the pile upon which you

Are gathered (still) poisoning my weary heart



And as the forked fires tongue licks high I won't

lament thy fall

But dance around the burning branches urged by furys

call

And I again shall not be humble slaves but king to thee



Dreams on the barren field did lay strewed

Spread their wings rise up with solemn hope imbued

Ascend the stary stairs into a plain but dear refuge.
