| I think I dreamed of falling leaves | B |
| - | |
| Of wide forests and dark lakes | C |
| - | |
| Of sad words' echo | D |
| - | |
| However I could not understand their meaning | E |
| - | |
| I think I dreamed of falling stars | F |
| - | |
| Of the weeping entreaty of pale eyes | G |
| - | |
| Of a smile's echo | D |
| - | |
| However I could not understand its meaning | E |
| - | |
| Like falling leaves like falling stars | F |
| - | |
| So I saw myself eternally coming and going | E |
| - | |
| A dream's immortal echo | D |
| - | |
| However I could not understand its meaning | E |
| - | |

| II | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| In my soul's dark mirror | H |
| - | |
| Are pictures of never seen seas | I |
| - | |
| Of abandoned tragic imaginary lands | J |
| - | |
| Dissolving into the blue the thereabouts | K |
| - | |
| My soul bore blood purple skies | G |
| - | |
| Shone through by gigantic crackling suns | L |
| - | |
| And strangely animated shimmering gardens | L |
| - | |
| That steamed with muggy deadly delights | M |
| - | |
| And my soul's dark fountain | N |
| - | |
| Created pictures of immense nights | M |
| - | |
| Moved by nameless cantos | M |
| - | |
| And breaths of eternal powers | M |
| - | |
| My soul shudders memory dark | O |
| - | |
| As if it found itself in everything | E |
| - | |
| In unfathomable seas and nights | M |
| - | |
| And deep cantos without beginning and end | P |
| - | |
| - | |
| III | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| I saw many towns as if robbed by flame | Q |
| - | |
| And the times accumulated atrocity after atrocity | R |
| - | |
| And saw a lot of people putrefy to dust | S |
| - | |
| And everything float into oblivion | N |
| - | |
| I saw the gods fall to the night | T |
| - | |
| The holiest harps powerlessly smashed | U |
| - | |
| And kindled anew from putrefaction | N |
| - | |
| A new life swelling to the day | V |
| - | |
| Swelling to the day and again passing | E |
| - | |
| The eternally identical tragedy | R |
| - | |
| That thus we play without understanding | E |
| - | |
| And its insanity's nightly torture | H |
| - | |
| Wreathes the soft glory of beauty | R |
| - | |
| Like a smiling universe of thorns | M |
