How pure is the air I breathe On this early Winter night What a stainless landscape I contemplate Twinkling stars like myriads of ice drops Held in the crystalline darkness They watch over my lonely path Like guardian deities of old Noble Noble wolf Boldly alone Wild minstrel of the full moon am I!
The furtive owls are my companions They sing along with me: "How can the vision of this snow-veiled realm Bring such a warmth to the heart?" Chief of the hunter tribes The grim mountain is my throne This lunar song of mine Paves the way for the dawn to come
