Les croix
Language: French (Français)
Les beaux vers sont de larges croix Où saignent les rouges poètes, Aveuglés par les gypaètes Volant en rond dans les cieux froids. Dans la nuit les lointains beffrois Célèbrent de sinistres fêtes: Les beaux vers sont de larges croix Où saignent les rouges poètes, Ils ont trépassé, cheveux droits, Loin de la foule aux clameurs bêtes, Les soleils couchants sur leurs têtes Comme des couronnes de rois! Les beaux vers sont de larges croix !

Die Kreuze
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse, Dran die Dichter stumm verbluten, Blindgeschlagen von der Geier Flatterndem Gespensterschwarme! In den Leibern schwelgten Schwerter, Prunkend in des Blutes Scharlach! Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse, Dran die Dichter stumm verbluten. Tot das Haupt - erstarrt die Locken - Fern, verweht der Lärm des Pöbels. Langsam sinkt die Sonne nieder, Eine rote Königskrone. - Heilge Kreuze sind die Verse!
