On a filigree stair of glimmering hair
then lightly down he went,
And merry was he at last to be free
on a mad adventure bent.
In diamonds white he had lost delight;
he was tired of his minaret
Of tall moonstone that towered alone
on a lunar mountain set.

Una scala in filigrana di capelli luccicanti
agilmente in discesa imboccò;
Felice e contento d’esser libero alfine
in una folle avventura si gettò.
I bianchi diamanti più non amava:
era stanco del suo minareto,
Delle pietre lunari solitarie e alte,
del paesaggio montuoso consueto.
