Enthauptung
Language:
German
Der Mond, ein blankes Türkenschwert
Auf einem schwarzen Seidenkissen,
Gespenstisch groß - dräut er hinab
Durch schmerzendunkle Nacht.
Pierrot irrt ohne Rast umher
Und starrt empor in Todesängsten
Zum Mond, dem blanken Türkenschwert
Auf einem schwarzen Seidenkissen.
Es schlottern unter ihm die Knie,
Ohnmächtig bricht er jäh zusammen.
Er wähnt: es sause strafend schon
Auf seinen Sünderhals hernieder
Der Mond, das blanke Türkenschwert.

Decapitazione
Language:
Italian
La luna, scimitarra splendente,
adagiata su un nero cuscino di seta,
spettro gigantesco - guarda minacciosa in basso
nella notte di dolore e di tenebra.
Intorno si aggira, Pierrot, senza sosta
e, in preda ad angoscia mortale, fissa
la luna, scimitarra splendente,
adagiata su un nero cuscino di seta.
Sta tremando fino alle ginocchia,
che senza forza cedono insieme.
Gli sembra che, per punirlo,
sibilando gli stia calando sul collo
la luna, scimitarra splendente.
