Brief,sad and powerful :
O world ! O life ! O time !
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before
When will return the glory of your prime ?
No more - oh never more
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight
Fresh spring,and summer,and winter hoar
Move my faint heart with grief,but delight
No more,Oh never more !

Fresh spring,and summer,and winter hoar
Move my faint heart with grief,but delight
No more,Oh never more !
