The world has gone to sleep. And I?
I have been asleep.
A long and gloomy sky
has been my friend.
Dreaming and poetry without end.
You should try a life like this.
A worm, too, can kiss.
You—so often seen in the sun—
don’t understand.
Let the blood move slowly
from your arm to your hand.
The best thoughts are not for just anyone.
