This hour of winter gloom

Impels the soul to manifest

Its inner strength,

To guide it into darkness,

Anticipate through warmth of heart

The senses’ revelation.

* translation by John Thomson.

_____________________

In the winter mood of dark and gloom

the soul finds her own strong impulse

to guide herself down into the darkness.

There she can witness

through the hearts own warmth, subtle

harbingers of impending sense revelations.

* translation by Dennis Klocek.

____________________

In this gloom of winter,
my soul’s own strength is revealed
in its yearning urge to pass through
darkness and oblivion—

to feel its way forward—

anticipating the dawn
of sense revelation
through the warmth
of my heart.

* translation by Tom Mellett.
