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!

詩是神聖的十字架， 詩人在上面靜默地流下鮮血， 被成群兀鷹給啄瞎 鼓動著翅膀 有如群魔亂舞！ 刀劍在他們的體內狂歡作樂， 血色的猩紅標記如此豔麗！ 詩是神聖的十字架， 詩人在上面靜默地流下鮮血。 死亡的頭顱－髮辮糾結－ 遠遠地，傳來人群的喧鬧聲。 太陽緩慢地落下， （宛如）一頂紅色的皇冠。－ 詩是神聖的十字架！
