You want to reign to this day,
Igniting the spirit of the poet
and heat of the desert full
Dewy moisture to refresh?
but know: everything, that the heart was
freshly, as spring flowers,
His love dried up
Mlada virgin beauty.
Her tongue - your calls,
Her dream - your dreams,
Her love - your impulses,
And your profile - it features!..
14 May 1899
