1. A house that life built for me of fragrance
Of shade, lights, and melodies

2. A house of beautiful magic constructed
For love, dreams, and inspiration

3. In the forest, splendid ever-renewing magic
Remaining through days and years

4. And a subtle fragrance like angels' wings
Obscure, fluttering in tranquil silence

5. And streams singing with honeyed melody
Wandering dreamily without order

6. And bowers that time wove their carpets
From withered leaves and bushes

7. And the dew bent down in its supremacy
With shade, branches, and breezes

8. In the forest, in those bowers and thickets
And on the green hills and meadows

9. How many sweet unknown feelings
Of rapture and thought and fantasies

10. Sang like flocks of birds and fluttered
Around me and melted like smoke before me

11. And how I inclined toward the songs of sorrow
And the sighing of pains and illnesses

12. And toward the winds moaning as if
In the forest, grieving for the departed days

13. And toward youth singing and murmuring
Around me with the tunes of passionate love

14. And I heard the warbling birds in the sky
And the tall, proud pines

15. And the songs of the shepherds, resonating
In the forest, cheerful like a flock of doves

16. And the frolicsome echo shouting and dancing
Between the chasms and the bare mountains

17. Until my heart became like a heavy wineskin
Sated with melodies and tunes

18. So I sang in a strange tone, winged
With the gloom of dreams and sorrows

19. In the forest, a world for the imagination and visions
And poetry, thought, and dreams

20. God, the day I first went
To the forest, burdened with my illness

21. And entered it alone, surrounded by a
Cheerful parade of dreams and delusions

22. And I walked beneath its shadows humbly
Like a child, in silence and surrender

23. I glanced toward the giant trees in their supremacy
Imagining them as the pillars of the sky before me

24. Touched by life's magic, they flourished
And swayed in the garden of dreams

25. And I inclined toward the pensive silence calling
Strange melodies into my hearing

26. And I was in a poetic rapture
Overflowing with inspiration

27. And my feelings were in a spellbound waking state
Bliss like Adam's awakening when the

28. Breath of burgeoning life flowed
Through his body and the music of existence embraced

29. His dreams with gentleness and peace
And he saw the elegant gardens blossom

30. In the luxury of flowers and bushes
And he saw the angels gliding through space

31. Swimming without order like rays
And he felt the soul of the universe flutter around him

32. In shade, light, and breeze
And creatures enveloped him with their affection

33. And profound, obscuring love
Until his being filled with life

34. And he strove after the processions of days
And how often on a gloomy, overcast morning

35. In turmoil and clouds
The world breathes wandering mist

36. Billowing into the endless horizon
And the wind flaps in the sky, earth,

37. And on the mountain peaks and bare hills
I went early to the somnolent forest

38. Faltering in steps and feet
And sat under the pine tree, staring

39. At the dreary horizon before me
And I saw the buildings in the fog as if

40. They were thoughts in the land of doubt and ambiguity
Or a world still being born in the cosmic space

41. Between darkness and murk
And I saw the deep chasms through it

42. And scenes of the valleys and meadows
As if they were the horrible paths of hell

43. Wrapped in gloom and darkness
Images of terrifying art that confounded

44. The genius of poetry and the painter's brush
And how often on a dreamy, enshrouded evening

45. In shadows and melancholy, lingering darkness
I walked in my forest like a wandering thought

46. In the rapture of dreams and inspiration
My poetry, ideas, and all my feelings

47. Unfurled to the light and breeze
And the horizon teemed with rays and fragrance

48. And the earth with grass and bushes
And the forest was silent and life inclined

49. And the beautiful dusk horizon before me
And the bride of my dreams caressed her lute

50. Until my heart rang with the echo and my bones
A soul I, enchanted in a world

51. Beyond time's teeming flow
O you priest of sorrows and pains

52. Cast off the robes of grief beneath its shade
And don the cloak of poetry and dreams

53. And lift your prayers profoundly to beauty
Imbued with the heat of inspiration

54. And chant the beautiful melodies of life
Like the beauty of this blossoming world

55. And flap with the perfume fluttering through space
And dance with the lights and breeze

56. And with the bubbling springs and echo
And my dreary thoughts melted into dusk

57. And I scattered them to the storms of days
And I went singing to the rays, enchanting

58. From the voice of my sorrows and oppression of illness
And I cried: O spirit of beauty, flow

59. Through my mind and dreams like a river
And permeate my soul that has withered

60. From sorrows and pains
You are the living sensation that flows abundantly

61. Like fire in the soul of burgeoning existence
And shapes the dreams of nature, so make

62. My life an enchanting song of melodies
And a fragrance that wafts with the rays and visions

63. In the sublime temple of truth
And my gloomy thoughts melted into dusk

64. And I scattered them to the storms of days
And I went singing to the rays, enchanting

65. From the voice of my sorrows and oppression of illness
And I cried: O spirit of beauty, flow

66. Through my mind and dreams like a river
And permeate my soul that has withered

67. From sorrows and pains
You are the living sensation that flows abundantly

68. Like fire in the soul of burgeoning existence
And shapes the dreams of nature, so make

69. My life an enchanting song of melodies
And a fragrance that wafts with the rays and visions

70. In the sublime temple of truth
