by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885)
Translation by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

I Seraillets Have
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE GER
Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt
Af Dug og Duft,
Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat
i lumre Luft.
Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv
I døsig Ro,
Minareterne pege mod Himlen op
I Tyrketro,
Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted
Over det jævne Blaa,
Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok,
Alle de Blomster smaa
I Seraillets Have,
I Seraillets Have.

Im Garten des Serail
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Rosen senken ihr Haupt so schwer 
von Tau und Duft
und Pinien schaukeln so schweigsam und matt 
in schwerer Luft.
Quellen rollen ihr schweres Metall 
in träger Ruh.
Minarets schauen in Türken-Vertraun 
dem Himmel zu.
Der Halbmond spielt in das sanfte Blau 
so sanft hinein
und küßt der Lilien und Rosen Schar, 
alle die Blumen klein,
im Garten des Serail, 
im Garten des Serail.
