Mondestrunken
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder,
Und eine Springflut überschwemmt
Den stillen Horizont.

Gelüste schauerlich und süß,
Durchschwimmen ohne Zahl die Fluten!
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder.

Der Dichter, den die Andacht treibt,
Berauscht sich an dem heilgen Tranke,
Gen Himmel wendet er verzückt
Das Haupt und taumelnd saugt und schlürft er
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt.

醉月
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the German (Deutsch) 
酒,人們以雙眼喝下,
由夜月傾注在水波中,
直到春潮淹沒
沈靜的地平線。

慾望、顫慄與甜蜜,
無以數計地流經眾水!
酒,人們以雙眼喝下,
由夜月傾注在水波中。

詩人,受自身的虔敬驅策,
沈醉於神聖的酒中,
他狂喜地轉向天際
他的頭 蹣跚地 吸吮與啜食著
酒,人們以雙眼喝下。
