could not mistake you,
You had showed,
Clear and straight before me,
The long road.
I must travel lonely,
/ Without you.
Should I blame you? What else
Could you do?
But your task is finished:
/ I could see
Nowhere in your nature
Need of me.
All my foolish day-dreams
Were quite gone.
Only /, who dreamed them,
| Must live on;
| Live, with hopeless future,
| Empty past.
Then why not have kissed me
! AT the last?
