Supplique

Pierrot! Le ressort du rire,
Entre mes dents je l'ai cassé:
Le clair décor s'est effacé
Dans un mirage à la Shakspeare.

Au mât de mon triste navire
Un pavillon noir est hissé:
O Pierrot! Le ressort du rire,
Entre mes dents je l'ai cassé.

Quand me rendras-tu, porte-lyre,
Guérisseur de l'esprit blessé,
Neige adorable du passé,
Face de Lune, blanc messire,
O Pierrot! le ressort du rire?

by Albert Giraud (1860-1929) , "Supplique"

Gebet an Pierrot

 Pierrot! Mein Lachen
 Hab ich verlernt!
 Das Bild des Glanzes
 Zerfloß - Zerfloß!

 Schwarz weht die Flagge
 Mir nun vom Mast.
 Pierrot! Mein Lachen
 Hab ich verlernt!

 O gieb mir wieder,
 Roßarzt der Seele,
 Schneemann der Lyrik,
 Durchlaucht vom Monde,
 Pierrot - mein Lachen!

by Otto Erich Hartleben (1864-1905)
