by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)

Entlang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Geschnitten sind Korn und Traube,
Der Weiler in Herbst und Ruh.
Hammer und Amboß klingt immerzu,
Lachen in purpurner Laube.

Astern von dunklen Zäunen
Bring dem weißen Kind.
Sag wie lang wir gestorben sind;
Sonne will schwarz erscheinen.

Rotes Fischlein im Weiher;
Stirn, die sich fürchtig belauscht;
Abendwind leise ans Fenster rauscht,
Blaues Orgelgeleier.

Stern und heimlich Gefunkel
Läßt noch einmal aufschaun.
Erscheinung der Mutter in Schmerz und Graun;
Schwarze Reseden im Dunkel.

Confirmed with Georg Trakl, Das dichterische Werk, München, 1972, page 60.
