| The capitol arches like a wildcat | I |
| A patrol is standing on the bridge | J |
| A single angry motor speeds by in the dark | K |
| And cries out like a cuckoo | L |
| I do not need a pass for the evening | G |
| I am not afraid of the sentries | M |
| I will pray in the Soviet night | E |
| For the blessed and senseless word | D |

| I hear the theater's light rustling | G |
| And a young girl's 'Oh' | N |
| In Kypris'arms a huge bunch | O |
| Of immortal roses | P |
| Out of boredom we warm ourselves | Q |
| By a bonfire Perhaps centuries will pass | R |
| And the kind hands of touched women | S |
| Will gather up the light ashes | T |

| Somewhere the red rows of the gallery | U |
| The sumptuous chiffon of the boxes | T |
| The clockwork puppet of the officer | C |
| Not for black souls or vile hypocrites | V |
| Right Put out please our candles | W |
| In the black velvet of worldwide emptiness | F |
| The sloped shoulders of blessed women still sing | G |
| But you won't notice the night sun | S |
