Ah! Away with you, you morose thoughts! Oh! Rage, Oh, remorse! Memories that have Made my head ache With the full force of the dead. Paths covered with moss, Frothy fountains, Deep caves, the voices Of the birds and the wind. Gloomy twilight In the wild underbrush, Insects, animals, Future beauty, Don't reject me, Oh, heavenly nature, I worship you. Ah! Away with you, you morose thoughts! Oh! Rage, Oh, remorse!
