1. The night and day have stopped, as if
When day comes, it flees

2. Seeing no way back, it earns disgrace
Powerless, helpless, it despairs

3. Where is your eye's power over us?
Tell it what's allowed in love is magic

4. You've spread your cheek's fire until
Every melting heart for it holds embers

5. So with what will you meet my reproach? Tell me
Especially if poetry counters poetry

6. And it's hard for me that you with war
And with peace your whole life are proud
