I take your hand and look at it for a long time,
You're in the sweet languor eye lift timidly:
Here in this hand - all your being,
I feel like all of you - body and soul.

But the rebellious angel, the whole storm and flame
Flying over the world that the death passion to destroy,
Already rushes over us!
