Summer

You To The Door to herein and fine
was the sun bright light.
was the summset-solstice
“Steel.”
the wine-red gleam of the Viennese
walls and also your bright leaves
tree. just one was called red.

Translated by Gary Sullivan.

Sommer

Dir Zur Tür zur herein und fein
war der Sonne helle schein.
war der Somset-Sonnenwende
“Stahl.”
die weinrote Schimmer der Wiener
wälle und auch dir Blätter helle
Baum. war nur einer, der hieß rot.
