Über den weißen Weiher Sind die wilden Vögel fortgezogen. Am Abend weht von unseren Sternen ein eisiger Wind. Über unsere Gräber Beugt sich die zerbrochene Stirne der Nacht. Unter Eichen schaukeln wir in einem silbernen Kahn. Immer klingen die weißen Mauer der Stadt. Unter Dornenbogen O mein Bruder klimmen wir Blinde Zeiger gen Mitternacht

Over the white ponds the wild birds have moved away. In the evening, an icy wind blows down from our stars. Over our graves bends the shattered brow of night. Among oaks we rock in our silver boat. The white walls of the city continue to ring. Among thorn branches O my brother we climb Blind clock-hands toward midnight.
