by Li-Tai-Po (701 - 762)
Translation by Alfred Henschke (1890 - 1928)

Das rote Zimmer
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Es stampft mein Pferd. Der Blütenregen rauscht,
und Blütenzweige streifen wolkig meine Wange.
Es kriecht der Fluß wie eine braune Schlange,
auf der ein Segel sich wie eine Wespe bauscht.

Ein Mädchen lächelt. Bambusvorhang hebt
sich unter ihrer Finger Mondenschimmer.
Und aus der Tiefe stürzt und lockt und schwebt
ein dunkelrotes, ein ersehntes Zimmer -
winkt mir, errötend, meines Mädchens Zimmer.
