Pfeift der Sturm?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Pfeift der Sturm?
Keift ein Wurm?
Heulen
Eulen
hoch vom Turm?
Nein!
Es war des Galgenstrickes
dickes
Ende, welches ächzte,
so als ob
im Galopp
eine müdgehetzte Mähre
nach dem nächsten Brunnen lechzte,
(der vielleicht noch ferne wäre).

No!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Does the storm whistle?
Does a little mite nag?
Do the hoots
of owls
resound from high in the tower?
No!
It is the end of the gallows'
thick noose,
groaning,
as if it were
in the middle of a gallop,
an exhausted mare, parched with thirst,
headed toward the nearest trough
(which might be quite far away).
