Brod und Wein

An Heinse


1
Rings um ruhet die Stadt; still wird die erleuchtete Gasse,
Und, mit Fackeln geschmückt, rauschen die Wagen hinweg.
Satt gehn heim von Freuden des Tags zu ruhen die Menschen,
Und Gewinn und Verlust wäget ein sinniges Haupt
Wohlzufrieden zu Haus; leer steht von Trauben und Blumen,
Und von Werken der Hand ruht der geschäftige Markt.
Aber das Saitenspiel tönt fern aus Gärten; vielleicht, daß
Dort ein Liebendes spielt oder ein einsamer Mann
Ferner Freunde gedenkt und der Jugendzeit; und die Brunnen,
Immerquillend und frisch rauschen an duftendem Beet.
Still in dämmriger Luft ertönen geläutete Glocken,
Und der Stunden gedenk rufet ein Wächter die Zahl.
Jetzt auch kommet ein Wehn und regt die Gipfel des Hains auf,
Sieh! und das Schattenbild unserer Erde, der Mond
Kommet geheim nun auch; die Schwärmerische, die Nacht kommt,
Voll mit Sternen und wohl wenig bekümmert um uns,
Glänzt die Erstaunende dort, die Fremdlingin unter den Menschen
Über Gebirgeshöhn traurig und prächtig herauf.


Bread and Wine

To Heinse


1
All round, the city rests; even the lit street grows quiet,
And resplendent with torches, carriages rumble away.
Sated, men return home, looking for rest from day’s pleasures,
So many thoughtful heads balancing gain against loss,
Now home-grounded, content; empty of grapes and flowers
And of its home-made wares, the busy market rests.
But a stringed instrument sounds, far away out of gardens;
Maybe a lover is playing there, some lonely man perhaps
Thinks of his youthful days and of distant friends; and the fountains,
Springing constantly fresh, rustle the fragrant beds.
Calm in the twilight air, bells ring reverberations,
And, with his mind on the hour, a watchman calls it by name.
Now too, a soft wind rises, riffling the wood’s highest branches,
Look! and mysterious, the shadow-world of our Earth, the moon,
Rises with it; and Night, the fanciful dreamer, rises,
Full of stars: little concerned, so it would seem, about us.
There, the amazing, she gleams, stranger to all our people,
Moving splendid and sad over the mountain peaks.
