He who is sad, let him not seek
New sorrows.
It is enough for him, it is enough for him, —
Let him not read these poems.

He who is happy, let him embrace
His dreams,
Let him not rile his cheerful soul, —
Let him not read these poems.

He who reads them, let him forgive
This weak one,
As he forgives a turbid sky,
A tearful day.
