Translation:The Street in the Shadows. The Tall Old Houses Hide

The Street in the shadows. The tall old houses hide the dying sun; there are echoes of light at the balconies. Don’t you see, in the charm of the ornate window, the ruddy oval of a familiar face? The image, through the somewhat-reflecting glass, arises or dims like an old daguerrotype. There’s only the sound of your step on the street; the echoes of the sunset slowly extinguish. Oh, anuish! My heart weighs on me and hurts... Is it her? It can’t be... She walks... In the blue, the star.
