Crash, crash from a dizzying height,
Gray torrent, never cease!
Marry your lingering roar
With the lingering echo of a valley.
I hear the North wind whistle
Rocking the creaking pines,
And your rebellious thunder
Chimes with the thundering storm.
Why do I pay you heed
With such wild expectation?
Why does my breast tremble
With some premonition?
As if entranced, I stand
Above your steaming depths,
And my heart seems to comprehend
Your wordless utterance.
Crash, crash from a dizzying height,
Gray torrent, never cease!
Marry your lingering roar
With the lingering echo of a valley.
