1. The night, my companion, sets out
Marching without vigor or resolve

2. Its star winked shut
As the long night robbed it of sleep

3. Darkness drew its cloak tightly
Bearing the burden of night on its shoulders

4. Look how the west has taken it away
As the dawn teased with its rising sun

5. And surprised it with a greeting
After keeping it company with the stars all night

6. A meadow laughed fully saturated
At a horizon flaming with lightning

7. The bottle has nothing left but purity
To dispel what the manufacturer cannot

8. A coat of mail against the serpent of winter
When it unsheathes its swords upon us

9. And the palm of the caretaker yellowed
Like the pocket of the young maiden at dusk

10. Thought exceeded the horizons of clarity so if
Illusion did not mix with it, it would have choked
