Your hand my wonder is now icy coldA
The purest light of the celestial domeB
has burned me through And now we areC
as two still plams lying in darlmessD
as two black banks of a frozen streamE
in the chasm of the worldF
-
Our hair combed back is carved in woodG
the moon walks over our ebony shouldersD
A distant cockcrow the night goes by silentH
Rich is the rime of love withered the dowryI
-
Where are you living in what depths of timeJ
love stepping down into what watersD
now when the frost of our voiceless lipsD
does not fend off the divine firesD
-
In a forest of clouds of fcam and of silverK
we live caressing lands under ourK
And we are wielding the might of a dark scepterK
to earn oblivionL
-
My love your breast cut through by a clinelM
knows nothing anymore of what it wasD
Of clouds at dawn of angers at daybreakN
of shallows in springtime it has no remembranceD
-
And you have led me as once an angel ledO
Tobias onto the rusty mashes of LombardyO
But a day came when a sign frightened youP
a stinma of golden measureK
-
With a scream with inunobile fear in your thin handsD
you fell into a pit that ashes lie overK
where neither northern firs nor Italian yewsD
could protect our andent bed of loversD
-
What was it what is it what will it beI
we filled the world with our cry and callingQ
The dawn is back the red moon setO
do we know now In a heavy shipR
-
A helmman comes throws a silken ropeS
and binds w tightly to eaah otherK
then he pours on friends once enemiesD
a handful of snowT
