There is something about Death / Like love itself!
If with someone with whom you have known passion, / And the glow of youthful love, / You also, after years of life / Together, feel the sinking of the fire, / And thus fade away together, / Gradually, faintly, delicately, / As it were in each other's arms, / Passing from the familiar room --
That is a power of unison between souls / Like love itself!
