Abendläuten
Language: German (Deutsch)
In deine langen Wellen,
tiefe Glocke
leg ich die leise Stimme
meiner Traurigkeit;
in deinem Schwingen
löst sie
sanft sich auf,
verschwistert nun
dem ewigen Gesang
der Lebensglocke,
Schicksalsglocke,
die
zu unsern Haupten
läutet, läutet, läutet.
Confirmed with Ich und die Welt. Gedichte von Christian Morgenstern, Verlag von Schuster & Loeffler, Berlin, 1898, page 140.
Note: in Marx's manuscript, there's a mistake in line 5: "in deinen Schwingen"

Sons du soir
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans tes longues ondes,
grave cloche,
je dépose la douce voix
de ma tristesse ;
dans ton oscillation
elle se dénoue
doucement,
et s'unit maintenant
au chant éternel
de la cloche de la vie
de la cloche du destin
qui dans nos têtes
sonne, sonne, sonne.
