Love lost and deserted, he stayed awake whole night; His dream; his deep dark little one: Shattered altogether but with all his might resurrected He sang a pastoral elegy to the midnight Sun, "Sure within the walls of this matured city Lies some brightening darkness, Hidden behind every smile -- 'A face of melancholy', If this is true, my will to live grows And I say, 'Make me even more deserted But let me taste life full to its brink And let not my desire -- my only way of resurrection And my music of my soul -- of love shrink.' Adios, I say to the ways of the world Welcome, I do to some new unseen world."
