by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Auferstehung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Graf vernimmt die Töne, 
er sieht einen lichten Riß; 
er weckt seine dreizehn Söhne 
im Erb-Begräbnis. 

Er grüßt seine beiden Frauen 
ehrerbietig von weit -; 
und alle, voll Vertrauen, 
stehn auf zur Ewigkeit 

und warten nur noch auf Erich 
und Ulriken Dorotheen, 
die, sieben- und dreizehnjährig, 
(sechzehnhundertzehn) 
verstorben sind im Flandern, 
um heute vor den andern 
unbeirrt herzugehn.
