The storm growls and howls

through splits in the hollow wall --


like a house organ.


De storm gromt en fluitDer Sturm brummt und pfeift
door spleten in de spouwmuur --durch Spalten in der Hohlwand --

als een huisorgel.wie eine Orgel.

What we humans are

is nothing, what we desire --


is all that matters.

lightly strokes the sheep gut with --

met paardenharen over --mit gespanntem Rosshaar leicht --

de schapendarmen.über Schafdärme.
