Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEDFGHDIJKLMNOPL QRSRTUVWXYLZA2XB2C2D 2LE2F2G2H2DD| In the night there are of course the seven wonders | A |
| of the world and the greatness tragedy and enchantment | B |
| Forests collide with legendary creatures hiding in thickets | C |
| There is you | D |
| In the night there are the walker's footsteps the murderer's | A |
| the town policeman's light from the street lamp and the ragman's lantern | E |
| There is you | D |
| In the night trains go past and boats | F |
| and the fantasy of countries where it's daytime The last breaths | G |
| of twilight and the first shivers of dawn | H |
| There is you | D |
| A piano tune a shout | I |
| A door slams A clock | J |
| And not only beings and things and physical sounds | K |
| But also me chasing myself or endlessly going beyond me | L |
| There is you the sacrifice you that I'm waiting for | M |
| Sometimes at the moment of sleep strange figures are born and disappear | N |
| When I shut my eyes phosphorescent blooms appear and fade | O |
| and come to life again like fireworks made of flesh | P |
| I pass through strange lands with creatures for company | L |
| No doubt you are there my beautiful discreet spy | Q |
| And the palpable soul of the vast reaches | R |
| And perfumes of the sky and the stars the song of a rooster | S |
| from years ago and piercing screams in a flaming park and kisses | R |
| Sinister handshakes in a sickly light and axles grinding on paralyzing roads | T |
| No doubt there is you who I do not know who on the contrary I do know | U |
| But who here in my dreams demands to be felt without ever appearing | V |
| You who remain out of reach in reality and in dream | W |
| You who belong to me through my will to possess your illusion | X |
| but who brings your face near mine only if my eyes are closed in dream as well as | Y |
| in reality | L |
| You who in spite of an easy rhetoric where the waves die on the beach | Z |
| where crows fly into ruined factories where the wood rots | A2 |
| crackling under a lead sun | X |
| You who are at the depths of my dreams stirring up a mind | B2 |
| full of metamorphoses leaving me your glove | C2 |
| when I kiss your hand | D2 |
| In the night there are stars and the shadowy motion of the sea | L |
| of rivers forests towns grass and the lungs | E2 |
| of millions and millions of beings | F2 |
| In the night there are the seven wonders of the world | G2 |
| In the night there are no guardian angels but there is sleep | H2 |
| In the night there is you | D |
| In the daylight too | D |
