In the meadow of my soul I stood mute, the moment I saw you like dusk, silence fell upon meWith the autumn I love so much, for an instant like a phoenix you came swiftly to kill meMy pain was unknown until yesterday, just like the night that brought you, warrior!In my shattered heart you have opened a new wound now, but why you, I wonder?Tell me what fever and weeping your lips held, let me alone know your groans, forgive me!What did your eye hide, sorrow or fever, let me tell you now how much you have crushed me!
I hurry to hold your face, plucked like a leaf; tell me, what happened to your gaze?Tonight you resemble the troubled sea full of waves, I am too late to wash away your tearIt seems the moon hid long ago behind blackened clouds thick above you, and I had not seen you!
Outside, the leaves and the rain rustle, and I cannot understand their languageWhat turmoil of pain is unfolding inside you, what is your image telling me?Weary warrior, under which roof are you wasting away, unseen by me or anyone else?!
