Translation
The wanderer
English translation ©
Richard Wigmore
‘The path is no more!
Abyss and deathly silence all around!’
Your will veered from the path!
Now, wanderer, comes the test!
Now look coldly, clearly!
If you believe in danger
You are lost.
Abyss and deathly silence all around!’
Your will veered from the path!
Now, wanderer, comes the test!
Now look coldly, clearly!
If you believe in danger
You are lost.
