Unterm schutz von dichten blättergründen Wo von sternen feine flocken schneien · Sachte stimmen ihre leiden künden · Fabeltiere aus den braunen schlünden Strahlen in die marmorbecken speien · Draus die kleinen bäche klagend eilen: Kamen kerzen das gesträuch entzünden · Weisse formen das gewässer teilen.

Protette da fitto fogliame, dove nevicano fini fiocchi di stelle, voci leggere annunciano i loro dolori, fiabeschi animali dalle loro gole oscure gettano lucenti zampilli in bacini di marmo, da cui lamentosi traboccano sottili ruscelli: giungevano ceri a illuminare gli arbusti, candide forme a fendere le acque.

Hain in diesen paradiesen Wechselt ab mit blütenwiesen Hallen · buntbemalten fliesen. Schlanker störche schnäbel kräuseln Teiche die von fischen schillern · Vögel-reihen matten scheines Auf den schiefen firsten trillern Und die goldnen binsen säuseln – Doch mein traum verfolgt nur eines.

Sacri boschetti in questi paradisi vanno alternandosi con aiuole in fiore, con portici, con marmi variegati, i becchi di slanciate cicogne increspano stagni iridati di pesci, schiere di uccelli che sembrano stanchi trillano sui tetti obliqui, mentre bisbigliano i giunchi dorati - Ma soltanto una meta insegue il mio sogno.

Da meine lippen reglos sind und brennen Beacht ich erst wohin mein fuss geriet: In andrer herren prächtiges gebiet. Noch war vielleicht mir möglich mich zu trennen · Da schien es dass durch hohe gitterstäbe Der blick vor dem ich ohne lass gekniet Mich fragend suchte oder zeichen gäbe.

Ora che bruciano immote le mie labbra considero a che punto è arrivato il mio passo: nello splendido regno di padroni diversi. Forse mi sarebbe stato ancora possibile prendere congedo; prima che, fra le alte inferriate, lo sguardo davanti al quale caddi in ginocchio, sembrò farmi cenno e cercarmi insistente.

Ti appoggi contro un salice sulla sponda, con le rigide punte del ventaglio il capo ti proteggi come da lampi improvvisi e rigiri, come in un gioco, il tuo monile. Io sto nella barca, protetta da una volta di foglie, in cui invano ti ho invitato a salire ... Osservo i salici, che più a fondo si piegano e i fiori, che viaggiano sparsi nell'acqua.

Sprich nicht immer Von dem laub · Windes raub · Vom zerschellen Reifer quitten · Von den tritten Der vernichter Spät im jahr. Von dem zittern Der libellen In gewittern Und der lichter Deren flimmer Wandelbar.

Non parlare sempre del fogliame, preda del vento, di schianti di cotogne mature, dei passi della distruzione che avanza alla fine dell'anno. Del tremore delle libellule nella tempesta e dei lumi, dalla fragile mutevole fiamma.

Wir bevölkerten die abend-düstern Lauben · lichten tempel · pfad und beet Freudig – sie mit lächeln ich mit flüstern – Nun ist wahr dass sie für immer geht. Hohe blumen blassen oder brechen · Es erblasst und bricht der weiher glas Und ich trete fehl im morschen gras · Palmen mit den spitzen fingern stechen. Mürber blätter zischendes gewühl Jagen ruckweis unsichtbare hände Draussen um des edens fahle wände. Die nacht ist überwölkt und schwül.

Abbiamo abitato il fogliame che a sera si fa cupo, i chiari templi, sentieri e aiuole con gioia - i suoi sorrisi, mentre io parlavo piano - Ora è vero, per sempre se ne va. Alti fiori appassiscono o si spezzano, si fa smorto e si spezza lo specchio dello stagno ed io mi perdo nell'erba putrescente: palme mi pungono con dita acuminate. Un sibilante tumulto di fradicio fogliame a tratti scaglia invisibili mani fuori verso le pallide pareti dell'eden. Afosa e la notte e affollata di nuvole.
