Da mit Sokrates die Freunde tranken Und die Häupter auf die [Polster]1 sanken, Kam ein Jüngling, kann ich mich entsinnen, Mit zwei schlanken Flötenbläserinnen. Aus den Kelchen schütten wir die Neigen. Die gesprächesmüden Lippen schweigen. Um die welken Kränze zieht ein Singen... Still, des Todes Schlummerflöten klingen.

Alors qu'avec Socrate ses amis buvaient Et que leurs têtes sombraient sur les coussins, Arriva un jeune homme, je m'en souviens, Accompagné de deux sveltes joueuses de flûte. Nous renversons le fond des gobelets, Les lèvres fatiguées de parler se taisent. Autour des couronnes fanées s'élève un chant ... Dans le silence chante la flûte somnolente de la mort.
