Original engl.: "When love beckons to you, follow him, // Though his ways are hard and steep. // And when his wings enfold you yield to him, // Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. // And when he speaks to you believe in him, // Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden."
