Der Kelch des Lebens [English translation]

Devoid of words

Dissolved in a dream

The goblet of life is only touched

In a wake

My throat filled with poison

My body and flesh disintegrated

My soul drunk empty

Wounded in the realms of yearning

Burned and scorched

Too hot - all past

Yearning

Abandoned and discarded

Seed painted in the mire

Now as I feel

I am a person and also wish to speak

I will knee at the foot of the mountain

Bless the sea with words

Which wind has called me

Which clown had derided me

I do not need the name

I will not call out

Neither will I ever hear the answer

The dream has led me

And I will follow it into the glowing fire...
