13. Enthauptung (Beheading)
Der Mond, ein blankes Türkenschwert
Auf einem schwarzen Seidenkissen,
Gespenstisch groß - dräut er hinab
Durch schmerzendunkle Nacht.
Pierrot irrt ohne Rast umher
Und starrt empor in Todesängsten
Zum Mond, dem blanken Türkenschwert
Auf einem schwarzen Seidenkissen.
Es schlottern unter ihm die Knie,
Ohnmächtig bricht er jäh zusammen.
Er wähnt: es sause strafend schon
Auf seinen Sünderhals hernieder
Der Mond, das blanke Türkenschwert.
The moon, a shining scimitar
On a black silk cushion,
Ghastly huge--it slices down
Through the pained dark night.
Pierrot stumbles about the rest
And stares up in the fear of death
At the moon, a shining scimitar
On a black silk cushion.
His knees chatter under him,
Swooning he headlong collapses.
He fancies: he hears whizzing punitive down
On his sinner's neck slicing
The moon, the shining scimitar.
