Rote Messe
Language:
German
Zu grausem Abendmahle,
Beim Blendeglanz des Goldes,
Beim Flackerschein der Kerzen,
Naht dem Altar - Pierrot!
Die Hand, die gottgeweihte,
Zerreißt die Priesterkleider
Zu grausem Abendmahle,
Beim Blendeglanz des Goldes
Mit segnender [Geberde]1
Zeigt er den bangen Seelen
Die triefend rote Hostie:
Sein Herz - in blutgen Fingern -
Zu grausem Abendmahle!

Messa di sangue
Language:
Italian
Per la terribile cena,
fra lo splendore accecante dell'oro,
alla luce tremolante dei ceri,
si accosta all'altare - Pierrot!
La mano, a Dio consacrata,
squarcia la veste talare,
per la terribile cena,
fra l'accecante splendore dell'oro.
Con gesto benedicente
indica alle anime angosciate
la rossa ostia gocciolante:
il suo cuore - tra le dita insanguinate,
per la terribile cena!
