i think, i dreamed

i think, i dreamed of falling leaves,

of wide forests and dark lakes,

of sad words' echo -

however, i could not understand their meaning.

i think, i dreamed of falling stars,

of the weeping entreaty of pale eyes,

of a smile's echo -

however, i could not understand its meaning.

oswald von glehn boreas and orithyia

like falling leaves, like falling stars,

so i saw myself eternally coming and going,

a dream's immortal echo -

however, i could not understand its meaning.
