-- Do you hear the stars that tremble in the sky?
-- Do you hear my heart each moment grow more pale?
-- Do you hear Dawn lift her rustling veils on high?
-- Listen, a heart assumes the ultimate veil.
-- Like a rich trophy the great sun mounts the sky.
-- Of too much victory my heart is dying.
-- Do you hear the weeping of the fountains?
-- Do you hear the fairies' sighing breath?
-- I hear the sobbing of the fountains . . .
-- The ivory horn of death.
