Evening

(Translation E. Witkowski)

Apparel evening slowly replaced,
lying on the branch garden fringed;
you look like the worlds in the sky is melting -
one ascended, the other falls;

and you leave on the ground familiar,
ever swore not to anyone:
or dusk umolknuvshego home,
no starlight, rising up into the darkness, -

and there is no way for you to another,
than realized, and to delimit,
in a large and close of life становиться
попеременно камнем и звездой.


evening


The evening gradually change clothes,
to it by a row of old trees;
you watch: and you get divorced two countries
a world traveling, and one that falls;

and allow you to either one,
not quite as dark as the darkened houses, not quite
to eternity
as what becomes a star each night and rises -

und lassen dir (unsäglich zu entwirrn)
dein Leben bang und riesenhaft und reifend,
so daß es, bald begrenzt und bald begreifend,
abwechselnd Stein in dir wird und Gestirn.
