The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy

We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”

Shatter for us with a wings drunken blow
This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
