Även lyckan blev mig tung att bära; som en börda, vilken trött jag lyfte, var den gyllde dagen över mig, och jag klagade vid solens fötter; även ljuset har sin vita smärta, även middagsglansens stråleld fräter, och med svårmod viddens blånad tynger. Låt det kvällas, stjärnor, låt mig träda in i natten.
