\begin{my-verse}
Sun of the Sleepless! melancholy star!\\
Whose tearful beam glows tremulously far,\\
That show’st the darkness thou canst not dispel,\\
How like art thou to Joy remembered well!\\
So gleams the past, the light of other days,\\
Which shines but warms not with its powerless rays:\\
A night-beam Sorrow watcheth to behold,\\
Distinct, but distant – clear – but, oh, how cold!
\end{my-verse}

\begin{my-verse}
De l' sendormulo suno, fora stel',\\
Vi tremas larme en la nokt-malhel'.\\
Simbolo estas vi de l' nokta hor',\\
Egalas tute de l' feliĉ' memor'.\\
Ĉar tute same brilas lumo de\\
Pasintaj tagoj, sed varmigas ne.\\
Ĝin klare enaere vidas mi,\\
Sed fride el la foro lumas ĝi.\footnote{aŭ: Sed tre malvarme lumas tiu ĉi.}\footnote{aŭ: Sed kiel fride lumas tiu ĉi!}\\
