A
-
The meaning of somber and barrenB
Venetian life is clear to meC
Now she looks into a decrepit blue glassD
With a cool smileE
-
-
-
Refined air Blue veins of skinF
White snow Green brocadeG
They are all placed on cypress stretchersH
Taken warm and drowsy from a capeI
-
-
-
And the candles burn burn in basketsJ
As if a pigeon had flown into the shrineK
At the theater and the solemn councilL
A man is dyingM
-
-
-
Because there is no salvation from love and fearN
Saturn's ring is heavier than platinumO
The block draped with black velvetP
And a beautiful faceQ
-
-
-
Your headdress is heavy VeneziaR
In the cypress mirror frameS
Your air is faceted In the bedroomT
The blue mountains of decrepit glass dissolveU
-
-
-
Only in her hands are the rose and the hourglassD
Green Adriatic forgive meC
Why are you silent VenetienneK
How can I escape this solemn deathV
-
-
-
Black Hesper glimmers in the mirrorW
Everything passes the truth is darkX
A man is born a pearl diesY
And Susannah has to wait for the eldersH
