My friend, Lucifer gave five horses to me,

And a radiant ruby-stone beautiful ring,

So that I could go down to marvelous caves,

And could see there heaven’s celestial face.

Snorted horses, and zealous, they hoofed, and they begged

To race over and over the space of the earth,

I believed that the sun rose exactly for me,

Shining crazy like ruby of that golden ring.

Wandered endlessly during the days and the nights

Under sun in the day and the night full of stars,

I was laughing at horses so eager to race

And the light of the ring as a heavenly grace.

There’s madness and snow at the heights of my mind

But I’ve hurried the horses with furious cries

So that they reach these heights in the violent run

And a virgin with sad face I saw having come.

And a music of string her quite voice produced

There question and answer were mixed and reduced

To the touches of shades of her heir all strewn,

So I gave ruby-ring to that virgin or Lune.

Mocking, laughing at me, having me in contempt,

Broken open the gates for a wasted attempt

To the darkness, He gave me the horse number six

Lucifer named Despair this horse as a gift.
