| - | |
| So dawns the blue face of spring Beneath the suckling trees | B |
| a darkness strays into evening and demise | C |
| The blackbird s feeble complaint is caught | D |
| The stifled night appears a wild bleeding | E |
| dirge burrowing deeper into the hillside | F |
| - | |
| Flowering apple branches sway in the damp air | G |
| Tangles unhinge their silver | H |
| death rattles over the night s fluttering eyes clatter of stars | I |
| the whispered song from the cradle | J |
| - | |
| Down to the blackened woods the sleeper arisen descended | K |
| and the blue spring it wheezed its way through the valley | L |
| that those bleached eyelids receded | K |
| wordlessly over his snow covered face | M |
| - | |
| And the moon hunted the red beast | N |
| from its cave | O |
| And sighing it died the bitter lament of women | P |
| - | |
| The white stranger luminous raised his hands | Q |
| to the one star | R |
| In silence the dead abandon their ruined tenement | S |
| - | |
| O the blasted stature of man forged out of loveless metals | T |
| night and horror in the sunken woods | U |
| and the crematory wilderness of beasts | V |
| the windless eye of the soul | W |
| - | |
| On the blackish barge he embarked down the shimmering currents | X |
| plenary of purple stars and the branches budding green | Y |
| sank upon him | Z |
| poppy born from a silver cloud | A2 |

| - | |
| Und es jagte der Mond ein rotes Tier | D2 |
| Aus seiner H hle | W |

| Strahlender hob die H nde zu seinem Stern | Y |
| Der wei e Fremdling | E |
| Schweigend verl t ein Totes das verfallene Haus | X |

| O des Menschen verweste Gestalt gef gt aus kalten Metallen | Y |
| Nacht und Schrecken versunkener W lder | D2 |
| Und der sengenden Wildnis des Tiers | X |
| Windesstille der Seele | W |
| - | |
| Auf schw rzlichem Kahn fuhr jener schimmernde Str me hinab | C2 |
| Purpurner Sterne voll und es sank | E |
| Friedlich das ergr nte Gezweig auf ihn | Y |
| Mohn aus silberner Wolke | E |
