A day from life of Klaus Werner Swamp-Man

The marvelous winter has come

with the most tender Christmas Eve

Klaus Werner Swamp-Man awaits dream

august Moment is revealed

Klaus a forester lives alone

in a clear home amidst the grove

In the evening praying by table

he enjoyed freedom of silence

Oracular characters come

after rook has visited his

The rook knows from the black raven

that there are marsh-treasure hidden

Next hydra bangs on the window

she gives to Werner the obol

He enchants tenderly the guest:

>The eternal moor! Dream with us!<

Then a Stymphalian’s birdlet comes

flying in dazzling-brilliant ways

The bird gives away an obol

the man told him the gorgeous words

>Eternal moory landscape dwell!

such for the ghosts a meek landscape<

Hereafter attends – Dionysus

sir of numinous moory homes

Third obolus – given away

therefor can be valid Klaus’ dream

Oboli are being given

>Be the fen full of tender myths!<

Mister Swamp-Man boasts of marshlands

they are free in eternities

Rook is nidifying in tree

the plant stays over the moor-mist

Bewitched landscape and dreamy bog

and women dream of moory fog

Two women seem to have been enchanted of the boglet (my neologism) plainly in a propitious way.
