by Georg Trakl (1887 - 1914)

Am Hügel (Geistliche Dämmerung, 1. Fassung) 
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Still vergeht am Saum des Waldes
Ein dunkles Wild
Am Hügel endet leise der Abendwind,
 
Bälde verstummt die Klage der Amsel
Und die Flöten des Herbstes
Schweigen im Rohr.
 
Mit silbernen Dornen
Schlägt uns der Frost,
Sterbende  wir  über Gräber geneigt
 
Oben löst sich blaues Gewölk;
Aus schwarzem Verfall Treten
Gottes strahlende Engel
