THE MOMENT

Find me a solitary place
In the midst of the desert
In an island
At the top of the mountain.

Come storm
Come ye darkest gloomiest clouds
Come rain, drizzle over me
Come fieriest winds, shake the trees!


Banish the sun;
Oh come ye beautiful moon!
And let your silvery moonlight
Shed light over my book.

Come violin, come the piano
Play the most heart-wrenching music!
By this foggy motionless lake,
Come solitude, embrace me!

Cheers to you my shadow!
Isn't this the happiest moment of our lives?
You and I alone together
Away from all absurdity and crowd.

Come let's sing silently
Up! Dance steadily!
Let's laugh out loud secretly,
Come let's sleep before we're awake!
