In the Spring <br /> <br />Your black footsteps whisper into the snow. <br />In the shadows of trees <br />your rosy eyelids flutter out of love. <br /> <br />Forever follow the dark calls of the mariner, <br />the night and the stars. <br />And the oars pulse faintly. <br /> <br />Before long the violets bloom <br />by the crumbling wall. <br />The temple of the deserted corrodes in their silence. <br /> <br />Translated by Eric Plattner <br /> <br />………………………………………………………………… <br /> <br />Im Frühling <br /> <br />Leise sank von dunklen Schritten der Schnee, <br />Im Schatten des Baums <br />Heben die rosigen Lider Liebende. <br /> <br />Immer folgt den dunklen Rufen der Schiffer <br />Stern und Nacht; <br />Und die Ruder schlagen leise im Takt. <br /> <br />Balde an verfallener Mauer blühen <br />Die Veilchen, <br />Ergrünt so stille die Schläfe des Einsamen.<br /><br />Georg Trakl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-spring-2/
