Poetry Appreciation: At this moment, everything is silent

now ,while the heavens, and the earth, and the winds are still.

and beasts and birds are locked in sleep,

At this moment, everything is silent, and the wind is calming,

Both the beasts and the birds fell asleep.

night's starry chariot makes its circles,

and in its bed the ocean lies waveless;

The night of the stars hangs low,

The ocean lay silently, without a trace.

i watch, i think, i burn, i weep,

and she who caused my anguish is ever present, and remains, to my sweet pain:

I watch, I think, I burn, I cry,

The people who ruined me often came before me and gave me sweet sorrow;

warfare is my state, full of anger and pain,

and only thoughts of her bring any peace.

Fighting is my duty, I am angry and heartbroken,

Only when I think of her do I find a little comfort in my heart.

thus from one pure and living fount flows

the sweetness and the suffering on which i feed;

a single hand restores me and wounds;

I just came from a clear and vibrant source

Absorb nutrients, and life is bitter and sweet,

Only a thin hand can heal me and penetrate deep into the atrium of my heart.

and, since my anguish knows no end,

a thousand times a day i die, and a thousand times i am born,

so great is the distance from my salvation.

I suffer and cannot reach the other shore;

Every day I die a thousand times, and I am born a thousand times,

I still have a long way to go to happiness.
