Throughout the night breathed malice blizzard,
Sweeping away the joy of the heart;
My girlfriend welcome,
I sensed, perished in the night!
In heavy whirlwind of dreams
Her soul told me:
"Your clear spirit, your guardian angel
The far side of die!»
I flew on the wings of the Rock…
In the dreary gloom wind howled,
But the path to a distant beauty
The fire lit up the heart…
I saved her from a vicious blizzard,
Powerful wings hid,
But near the left girlfriend
I stayed, devoid of wings…
Since, powerless flaming,
Night blizzard exhausted,
Composed hymns with her,
One inspired by love!..
