by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Translation by Otto Erich Hartleben (1864 - 1905)
Ivresse de Lune
Language: French (Français)
Le vin que l'on boit par les yeux A flots verts de la Lune coule, Et submerge comme une houle Les horizons silencieux. De doux conseils pernicieux Dans le philtre nagent en foule: Le vin que l'on boit par les yeux A flots verts de la Lune coule. Le Poète religieux De l'étrange absinthe se soûle, Aspirant, - jusqu'à ce qu'il roule, Le geste fou, la tête aux cieux, - Le vin que l'on boit par les yeux!

Mondestrunken
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt, Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder, Und eine Springflut überschwemmt Den stillen Horizont. Gelüste schauerlich und süß, Durchschwimmen ohne Zahl die Fluten! Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt, Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder. Der Dichter, den die Andacht treibt, Berauscht sich an dem heilgen Tranke, Gen Himmel wendet er verzückt Das Haupt und taumelnd saugt und schlürft er Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt.
