    Friedrich Hölderlin,
    HALF OF LIFE (1797)

    With yellow pears full-laden // And covered with wild roses // Land slips into lake, // You swans alluring, // And drunken with kisses // Dipping your heads // In sacred-sobering water. //

    Ah me, where will I, when // The winter’s come, find flowers, // and where // The sunshine and // The shadows of the earth? // The walls all stand // Speechless and cold, the wind-caught // Weather-vanes clatter. //

    Tr John Irons
