Translated by Francis Golffing

I have recovered it.
What? Eternity.
It is the sea
Matched with the sun.

My sentinel soul,
Let us murmur the vow
Of the night so void
And of the fiery day.

Of human sanctions,
Of common transports,
You free yourself:
Your soar according...

From your ardor alone,
Embers of satin,
Duty exhales,
Without anyone saying at last.

Never a hope;
No genesis.
Skill with patience...
Anguish is certain.

I have recovered it.
What? Eternity.
It is the sea
Matched with the sun.
