In pain she left me melody and speech
Am I indeed as wretched as I seem?
Has everything been lost?
If you were joking—the time, love,
For joking, is passed
I think of you when the sun’s glorious shimmer
Shines from the sea
I think of you when the moon’s pallid glimmer
Edges the tree
A short span of time
I’m free and above
And drunken I lie—in the lap of love
It storms—you are my guest
Lightning writhes wildly
And thunder rolls
I shall see you to your horse ….
The storm is howling
She’s silent
I become wild
Show me to my bedroom!
I am tired as a dog
Here—on slippery rock traces
I dance—into your embraces
All the children’s sprites are dancing
Softly on the silver rock
Only when incense clouds them
And bewitches their stony lips
Their light appears to stir

But one cannot prove a thing …
