| Still far the asphodels | B |
| grey transparent Spring | C |
| Meanwhile the sand rustles | B |
| the wave foams | B |
| But here like Persephone | D |
| my soul joins the gentle circle | E |
| and in the realm of the dead | F |
| there were no seductive sunburnt arms | B |

| Why do we trust the boat | G |
| with the heaviness of the funerary urn | D |
| and conclude the festival of black roses | B |
| over amethystine water | H |
| My soul rushes there | I |
| to the cloudy cape of Meganom | J |
| and from there the black sail will return | D |
| after the funeral | E |

| How quickly clouds rush by | K |
| in a sunless row and | L |
| flakes of black roses drift | M |
| under this windy moon | D |
| And a bird of death and sobbing | C |
| the enormous flag of remembrance | B |
| is dragged along the mournful border | H |
| behind a cypress stern | D |

| The sorrowful fan of past years | B |
| unfolds with a rustle | E |
| My soul rushes there | I |
| to the cloudy cape of Meganom | J |
| where with dark trembling | C |
| an amulet was buried in the sand | N |
| and from there the black sail will return | D |
| after the funeral | E |
