Und so verblaßte goldner Tag

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Und so verblaßte goldner Tag
nach wonnigem Verweilen;
und über allem Leben lag
ein Hauch von Abwärts-Eilen
in Grab und Tod.

Bis voll unendlich süßer Macht
sich Stern auf Stern entzündete
und am Gewölb' der hohen Nacht
den Zirkel weiter rundete
zum Morgenrot.

Et ainsi s'estompa un jour doré

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Et ainsi s'estompa un jour doré
après un délicieux séjour ;
et sur toute vie s'étendit
le souffle d'une chute urgente
vers la tombe et la mort.

Jusqu'à une puissance infiniment douce
les étoiles l'une après l'autre s'allumèrent
et sur la haute voûte de la nuit
leur cercle s'arrondit encore
jusqu'à l'aube.
