他来了,坐在我身边,而我却没醒来。多么可恶的睡眠。哦,悲惨的我!
他在静夜里到来,手上拿着竖琴,而我的梦和琴声共鸣。
唉,为何我的夜晚如此迷失?啊,为何他的呼吸触碰了我的睡眠,而我却没见到他?
He came and sat by my side but I woke not. What a cursed sleep it was, O miserable me!
He came when the night was still; he had his harp in his hands, and my dreams became resonant with its melodies.
Alas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?
