Peregrina I

Hans Huber

The mirror of these faithful, brown eyes

is like a reflection of inner gold;

from deep within the bosom it seems to be drawn;

there may such gold thrive in sacred grief.

To plunge myself into the darkness of this gaze,

naive child, you yourself beckon me -

you will me to boldy ignite us both,

with a smile, handing me Death in a goblet of sin!
