I shed my tears; my tears - my consolation;
And I am silent; my murmur is dead,
My soul, sunk in a depression's shade,
Hides in its depths the bitter exultation.
I don't deplore my pa**ing dream of life --
Vanish in the dark, the empty apparition!
I care only for my love's infliction,
'And let me die, but only die in love!
