Lied im Herbst

Wie Krieger in Zinnober
Stehn Bäume auf der Wacht.
Ich taumle durch Oktober
Und Nacht.

Blut klebt an meinem Rocke.
Mein Weg ist weit und lang.
Des Tales dunkle Glocke
Verklang.

Auf einem schwarzen Pferde
Reit ich von Stern zu Stern.
Die Sonne und die Erde
Sind fern.

Ich bin von vielen Winden
Zu Gott emporgereicht,
Werd ich den Frühling finden?

Vielleicht ...

Chant d'octobre

Comme des guerriers de cinabre,
Se dressent des arbres de garde.
Je chancelle dans octobre
Et la nuit.

Du sang colle à mon veston.
Mon chemin est long et lointain.
Ténébreuse cloche de la vallée
Qui expire.

Sur un cheval noir
Je chevauche d'étoile en étoile.
Le soleil et la terre
Sont loin.

Par de nombreux vents
Je suis élevé vers Dieu,
Trouverai-je le printemps ?

Peut-être …
