Translation, from "The Shadow King":
“In deep cold cavernous spaces
where shadows pair with shades
where old books dream the dreams
of times when they were trees
where coal doth bear the diamond
one knows not light nor day
there ’tis where every spirit reigns
who one would call a shadow-king”
--Colophonius Regenschein (see also: "the devil is beating his wife again")
