Rhyme Scheme: ABCD DEFG HIJK LLMN MGKN LLOP QRLS TNUG VWXY| By life tormented and by cunning hope | A |
| When my soul surrenders in its battle with them | B |
| Day and night I press my eyelids closed | C |
| And sometimes I'm vouchsafed peculiar visions | D |
| - | |
| The gloom of quotidian existence deepens | D |
| As after a bright flash of autumn lightning | E |
| And only in the sky like a call from the heart | F |
| The stars' golden eyelashes sparkle | G |
| - | |
| And the flames of infinity are so transparent | H |
| And the entire abyss of ether is so close | I |
| That I gaze direct from time into eternity | J |
| And recognize your flame universal sun | K |
| - | |
| Motionless encircled by fiery roses | L |
| The living altar of the cosmos smolders | L |
| And in its smoke as in creative slumber | M |
| All forces quiver eternity's a dream | N |
| - | |
| And all that rushes through the abyss of ether | M |
| And every ray embodied or ethereal | G |
| Is but your reflection O universal sun | K |
| It is but a dream but a fleeting dream | N |
| - | |
| Through the worldly breath of these reveries | L |
| I fly like smoke involuntarily disperse | L |
| And in this vision in this delirium | O |
| I can live with ease and breathe without pain | P |
| - | |
| In the darkness and still of a mysterious night | Q |
| I see a fond and welcoming spark | R |
| From the chorus of spheres familiar eyes | L |
| Shine upon a grave forgotten in the steppe | S |
| - | |
| The grass has faded the desert is grim | T |
| A lonely tomb dreams an orphan's dream | N |
| And only in the sky like an eternal idea | U |
| The stars' golden eyelashes sparkle | G |
| - | |
| And I dream you've risen from the dead | V |
| Unchanged since you departed the earth | W |
| And I dream a dream we both are young | X |
| And you've looked at me as you did back then | Y |
