The leafs and I entangled dance a harmonie nI dare not stain with vain delight nAnd thus embraced we roam the passing eve like a npillgrim who craves a shelters guiding light nI question thee, beloved night to calm my joy nso that I not like the weary leaves be strewed nFor I submitt to thy solitary grace (as) even springs nlife is by winters gaze subdued nnLost in a dream I beheld a maiden dance nAnd when she sat down by a sliver stream nPlunging her feet in the shallow waves nA mist descended, kissed her and fled nAnd all that's before been just and fair nShattered in a rain of crystal shards nEach of them a cry, a dream, a tear nnNunquam submergiove aut diffugo nIra inflammata mea vita ad salutem nominarit nEt solitudo meurn robur nnEverlasting be the war that I declare nExtinguished thy bewitched spark despair nTorched the pile upon which you nAre gathered (still) poisoning my weary heart nnAnd as the forked fires tongue licks high I won't nlament thy fall nBut dance around the burning branches urged by furys ncall nAnd I again shall not be humble slaves but king to thee nnDreams on the barren field did lay strewed nSpread their wings rise up with solemn hope imbued nAscend the stary stairs into a plain but dear refuge.
