Delightful trees create a shady lane Autumn rips off all their leaves Through bogs and mud flats, down the narrow trails Gazing at the somber flourishes at autumn Traveling through the soundless dark With fires guiding us over the bitter terrain Our images blaze a path
For all who swear that spirit conquers flesh Here the great Marathon starts afresh Through bright leaves falling, down the arboreal path Gazing at the lavish ordaining of lights Traveling through the mist swirled up With gaudy music unknown for ages Our images blaze a path
Secret moves of the body, the inmost dance Our shadows skim the earth While the solemn sounds of our souls come together
From here our souls gradually aspire Into the purgatorial fire Through the emerald trees, down the alabaster mansion Gazing at the daylight inch across the floor Lumbering from room to room With vast music that mingled with the luster of the room Our images blaze a path
