DownfallA
-
To Karl Borromaeus HeinrichB
-
Over the white pondC
the savage birds draw awayD
At twilight an icier wind blows about our starE
-
The split forehead of night bendsF
across our gravesG
Under oaks we shudder on a silver bargeH
-
Forever ring the whitewashed walls of the cityI
Under a dome of thornsJ
O my brother we climb blind hour hands to midnightK

An Karl Borromaeus HeinrichB
-
ber den wei en WeiherM
Sind die wilden V gel fortgezogenN
Am Abend weht von unseren Sternen ein eisiger WindO
-
ber unsere Gr berM
Beugt sich die zerbrochene Stirne der NachtO
Unter Eichen schaukeln wir auf einem silbernen KahnN
-
Immer klingen die wei en Mauern der StadtO
Unter DornenbogenN
O mein Bruder klimmen wir blinde Zeiger gen MitternachtO
