I gazed at the noble image in her eyes'
All too sweet radiance,
Paying for it with my own eyes'
Cheerful gleam.
O God, why have you created,
To our misery and torment,
Such dark stars with such bright
Magical rays?
They have blinded me to all the wonders
Of this earth's every splendor;
All around me, wherever my gaze rests,
It is night.
