Rosen saenker sitt Hoved, tungt af Dug...

Rosen saenker sitt Hoved, tungt af Dug og Duft,
og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft.
Kilderne vaelte det tunge Sølv i døsi Ro.
Minareterne pege mod Himlen op i Tyrketro,
og Halvmaanen driver saa jaevnt afsted over det jaevna Blaa,
og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok,
alle de Blomster smaa i Seraillets Have.

by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847-1885)

Im Garten des Serail

Rosen senken ihr Haupt so schwer von Tau und Duft
und Pinien schaukeln so schweigsam und matt in schwerer Luft.
Quellen rollen ihr schweres Metall in träger Ruh.
Minarets schauen in Türken-Vertraun dem Himmel zu.
Der Halbmond spielt in das sanfte Blau so sanft hinein
und küßt der Lilien und Rosen Schar, alle die Blumen klein,
im Garten des Serail, im Garten des Serail.

by Stefan George (1868-1933)
