14. Die Kreuze (The Crosses)
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!
Holy crosses are the verses
That the poet mutely bleeds for,
Stricken blind by the vulture
Flapping swarm of ghosts.
Swords gorged upon corpses,
On parade in blood scarlet!
Holy crosses are the verses
That the poet mutely bleeds for.
Dead the head--stiff the ringlets
Far the scattered noise of rabble.
Slowly the sun sinks below,
A red king's crown.--
Holy crosses are the verses!
