Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)
Die Morgenglocke
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Japanese (日本語)
Wenn du, erbarmungslose Morgenglocke, Den Schmerz der Liebestrennung ahnen würdest. Du würdest nicht die wahre Stunde rufen Beim Morgengrauen,--sondern würdest gerne Bereit sein, lügnerisch die Zeit zu künden.
Confirmed with Hans Bethge, Japanischer Frühling: Nachdichtungen Japanischer Lyrik, Project Gutenberg
