Богу равным кажется мне по счастью Человек, который...

God seems to me equal
The man who is so close, close
Before you sits, your sound gentle
Listening to the voice

And a lovely laugh. I have at the same time
My heart would stop beating right away:
I’ll only see you, I’m not able to
Say the words.

But immediately the tongue goes numb, under the skin
A quick light glow runs through, look,
Seeing nothing, eyes, but in the ears -
Ringing is continuous.

Then hot I shiver
Members are all covered, greener
I'm getting grass, and just about as if
I say goodbye to life.
But endure, endure: too far
Everything has gone ...
