Ἄστρα ὥς τε κόνις πολυήρατος,

The stars are but dust.

ἐγγύθι οὐρανοῖο κραδίης κείμενα,

Nestled close to the heart of the universe.

ἀκούουσι κρυστάλλου διαφανοῦς

Hearing the clear sound of crystal.

πλησσόντος νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τεῖχεϊ μεγάλῳ.Αἰθὴρ δ’ οὐδέν τι ἔχων,

Colliding with the curtain wall of the night.

μόνον μένει ἕν ἄγγελμα θεσπέσιον,

καὶ πένθος διαφανὲς ἠπιότητι,

Space, a complete void.

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπινεφέλῃσε,

Just waiting for a telegram.

κραδίην δ’ ἐξέσμηξεν ἄγλαόν.Εἰ κραδίη ἐστὶ θύρη διαφανὴς ὡς κρύσταλλος

Sadness also exudes tenderness.

ὄψεσθαι φιλότητας ἀνθρώπων,

It blurred my vision.

τότε ἐθέλω γενέσθαι πτεροῖσιν ὁμοῖος ἐλαφρὸς,

My heart has been renewed.

παραπτάμενος ἕκαστον θυρίδος,

διαμετρήσων σέο ἀπόστασιν μακρὴν.

If the heart were a pane of glass…

See the emotions.

Then I wish to become as light as feathers.

Passing through every window.

Measuring the distance between us.
