I linger beneath your balcony like a peasant from the fields, yearning for the dream of marrying the Baron's daughter -- for her beauty, for her grace, for her kindness, - nay, for her wit. For though she be educated and know her sums, I know nought but my fields, and am impressed by it. I wish for the cloths of heaven that I may lay them at her feet, but I am but a simple farmer and have no such cloths. I stand with the falling snow framing my figure in the pallid light of the house in the countryside, dreaming my peasant life away. |

Inspired by the poem WELCOME THE DAY! by Radnoti Miklos translated by Gabor Barabas on page 35 of: http://www.authormark.com/artman2/publish/Inn_11_pdf.pdf
Maybe the last line should be "daydreaming" my peasant life away?
