The sun shines high in the sky

But I wish the night to perceive the life

Through a window I see the world goes by

I feel my life crystallized in my hands

For a few days I have been alive

Without them seeing me as a monster

I felt the warmth of their love

I saw her eyes, I saw her eyes

As the essential is invisible to eyes

You saw over and you saw in my dreams

The world around goes out

And my life for the first time is a life

Banished from the world and your arms

My only guilt to have killed the real monster

Banished from the world and your arms

I still have in my mind your warm tears

Who created me, decided to live away from men

Who loved me, saw over me

Who banished me, saw himself reflected

Who loved me was lost in my dreams

For dark nights I wandered alone

I searched for the reason of my monstrous world

Banished from the world and your arms

My only guilt to have killed the real monster

Banished from the world and your arms

I still have in my mind your warm tears

"Thou wast that all to me, love,

For which my soul did pine:

A green isle in the sea, love,

A fountain and a shrine,

All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,

And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!

Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise"

Banished from the world and your arms

My only guilt to have killed the real monster

Banishing from the world and from your arms

I still have in my mind your warm tears

"Thou wast that all to me, love,

For which my soul did pine:

A green isle in the sea, love,

A fountain and a shrine,

All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,

And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!

Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise"
