Poem of Georg Trakl
Lebensalter
Geistiger leuchten die wilden
Rosen am Gartenzaun;
O stille Seele!
Im kühlen Weinlaub weidet
Die kristallne Sonne;
Oh heilige Reinheit!
Es reicht ein Greis mit edlen
Händen gereifte Früchte.
O Blick der Liebe!
Stages of Life
At the garden fence shine
most spiritually wild roses;
O calm soul!
The crystal sun feeds on
chilled wine leaves;
O holy innocence!
An old man serves with gracious
hands matured fruits.
O eyes of love!
