and again the moon is on the wave gliding gently into me on silent wings the night comes from there as my heart longs to thee for in my hand i still hold the rose that froze long times ago its leafs have withered it ceased to grow left in me this woe the wine of love is o so sweet but bitter is regret i knew at sunset i would meet the ascending veils of dread before my eyes nocturnal curtains fall the dark and gentle haze of the night greedily devours all woe to him whose heart is filled with bitter rue and who drowns in grief in the silence of the night i lose myself it makes me drunken with its sweet blue sound in the drunk ness of solitude i fear no more the solemn realms of death no single sigh from my lips as i drink the wine of bitterness my heart is aching nevermore for i know that all may end just i and the poetry of the night now forever one just i and the poetry of the night now forever one the ensemble of silence plays so beautiful for me
