Der von Langenau ist tief im Feind, aber ganz allein. 
Der Schrecken hat um ihn einen runden Raum gemacht,
und er hält, mitten drin,
unter seiner langsam verlodernden Fahne.

Im nächsten Frühjahr (es kam traurig und kalt) 
ritt ein Kurier  ...  
langsam in Langenau ein. 
Dort hat er eine alte Frau weinen gesehen.

Von Languenau est au cœur des ennemis, mais tout seul.
La terreur a créé un espace vide autour de lui,
et il s'y tient, au milieu,
sous son drapeau qui lentement se consume.
Lentement, presque songeur, il regarde autour de lui.
Il y a beaucoup de choses étranges, bariolées devant lui.
Des jardins - pense-t-il et il sourit.
Mais alors il sent
que des yeux le fixent et il reconnaît des hommes
et sait que ce sont des chiens de païens - :
et il jette son cheval au-milieu d'eux.
Mais, alors que maintenant derrière lui tout est détruit,
les jardins sont à nouveau là,
et les seize sabres courbes
qui sur lui jaillissent, rai contre rai, sont une fête.
Une riante fontaine.

Translation of title "Der Tod" = "La Mort"


La tunique a brûlé dans le château,
la lettre et le pétale d'une femme étrangère. -
Au printemps suivant (il est arrivé triste et froid),
un courrier du baron von Pirovano
est entré lentement à Languenau.
Là il a vu une vieille femme pleurer.
