by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Translation by Otto Erich Hartleben (1864 - 1905)
Déconvenue
Language: French (Français)
Les convives, fourchette au poing, Ont vu subtiliser les litres, Les rôtis, les tourtes, les huîtres, Et les confitures de coing. Des Gilles, cachés dans un coin, Tirent des grimaces de pitres : Les convives, fourchette au poing, Ont vu subtiliser les litres. Pour souligner le désappoint, Des insectes aux bleus élytres Viennent cogner les roses vitres, Et leur bourdon nargue de loin Les convives, fourchette au poing.
Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 83-84.

Schweres Loos
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Mit den Gabeln in den Fäusten Schaun die Schlemmer stumpf darein, Leer die Flaschen, leer die Schüsseln, Hin sind Austern und Dessert. Und die Piccolos in den Ecken Ziehn Grimassen, bübisch frech. Mit den Gabeln in den Fäusten Schaun die Schlemmer stumpf darein. Blaubeflügelte Insekten Stossen mit den schwarzen Köpfen An die abendroten Fenster: Brummelnd höhnen sie die Schlemmer Mit den Gabeln in den Fäusten.
