    I remember you only rarely
    And your fate I do not review
    But the mark won't be stripped from my soul
    Of the meaningless meeting with you.

    Your red house I avoid on purpose,
    Your red house murky river beside,
    But I know, that I am disturbing
    Gravely your heart-pierced respite.

    Would it weren't you that, on my lips pressing,
    Prayed of love, and for love did wish,
    Would it weren't you that with golden verses
    Immortalized my anguish

    Over future I do secret magic
    If the evening is truly blue,
    And I divine a second meeting,
    Unavoidable meeting with you.
