We trod in steps without spark, A careful journey one remakes, With days of dreams' surrender, O love— is but a promised land. In our youth precious time reigns And greetings are met with sorrow, Maidens and lads, each entertains Graces above us, Venus and Apollo,                                                          ­             Gods on high, who told us stories, Of the cloud nursery, of mountains Keep and comings of celestial glory, Not of gentle caress to windy hands,                                                                     Of shy indifferences, the trials of lot, Nor the endless engulf, still desires, In this land of lost, unmoving gusts, Go those who shuffle— souls entire.

Lament of the Reaching Lovers
We trod in steps without spark, A careful journey one remakes, With days of dreams' surrender, O love— is but a promised land. In our youth precious time reigns And greetings are met with sorrow, Maidens and lads, each entertains Graces above us, Venus and Apollo,                                                          ­             Gods on high, who told us stories, Of the cloud nursery, of mountains Keep and comings of celestial glory, Not of gentle caress to windy hands,                                                                     Of shy indifferences, the trials of lot, Nor the endless engulf, still desires, In this land of lost, unmoving gusts, Go those who shuffle— souls entire.
