    In Red Foliage Full of Guitars...

    In red foliage full of guitars
    The girls' yellow hair blows
    At the fence, where sunflowers stand.
    A golden cart drives through the clouds.

    In the rest of brown shadows
    The old grow silent, embrace dim-wittedly.
    Orphans sing sweetly for vespers.
    Flies buzz in yellow steams.

    At the brook the women still wash.
    The hung-up linens billow.
    The small child, whom I have long liked,
    Comes again through evening's grayness.

    Sparrows fall from mild skies
    Into green holes filled with rottenness.
    A smell of bread and harsh spices
    Feigns recovery to the hungry one.


    Dream of Evil

    Fading away of a gong's brown-golden sounds -
    A lover awakens in black rooms
    The cheek near flames that flicker in the window.
    In the river sails, masts, and ropes flash.

    A monk, a pregnant woman there in the crowd.
    Guitars strum, red smocks gleam.
    Chestnuts shrivel sultry in golden shine;
    The churches' sad pageantry towers black.

    The spirit of evil watches from pale masks.
    A square dusks gruesome and somber.
    In the evening whispers stir on the islands.

    Lepers read confused signs from the flight
    Of birds, perhaps decay during the night.
    In the park siblings meet trembling.


    In Autumn

    Sunflowers shine near the fence,
    Silently sick people sit in the sunshine.
    Women strive singing in the acre,
    Into which monastery bells chime.

    Birds tell you a far away tale
    Into which monastery bells chime.
    From the courtyard the violin sounds
    softly.
    Today they press the brown wine.

    Now man appears glad and dulcet.
    Today they press the brown wine.
    The chambers of the dead are open wide
    And beautifully painted with sunshine

    In Autumn is my favorite Trakl poem.

    It saddened me, I wasn't able to locate a satisfactory translation on the internet, to post here for you, members.

    I made do with a good translation.

    I once owned a semi hard cover of a book of Trakl poems translated into English, exhibited below - Lehbert's translations are incredible according to Dna8, who, the latter, cannot speak German, and speaks English with a thick Afrikaans accent.

    Lehbert's version of, 'In Autumn', is probably the poem that has moved me farther than any other poem has shifted me in my life.

    What I am trying to say is that it is my favorite poem of all time, okay?

    The below poem is a tribute to Trakl's silence, the musicality of his poems.


    Sunny Afternoon

    A branch rocks me in the deep blue.

    In the frolicking, autumnal leaf-tangle

    Moths flicker, intoxicated and crazy.

    Ax blows resound in the floodplain.

    My mouth bites into red berries

    And light and shadows sway in the foliage.

    For hours golden dust falls

    Crackling in the brown ground.

    The thrush laughs from the bushes

    And frolicking and loudly the autumnal leaf-tangle

    Strikes together above me -

    Fruits detach bright and heavy.

    My favourite poet - his best poem is Verfall (Decay) in my opinion.
    Blue eyed honey in the sun
    Warm, wet and on the run
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run,....
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run

    „Am Abend, wenn die Glocken Frieden läuten,
    Folg ich der Vögel wundervollen Flügen,
    Die lang geschart, gleich frommen Pilgerzügen,
    Entschwinden in den herbstlich klaren Weiten.

    Hinwandelnd durch den dämmervollen Garten
    Träum ich nach ihren helleren Geschicken
    Und fühl der Stunden Weiser kaum mehr rücken.
    So folg ich über Wolken ihren Fahrten.

    Da macht ein Hauch mich von Verfall erzittern.
    Die Amsel klagt in den entlaubten Zweigen.
    Es schwankt der rote Wein an rostigen Gittern,

    Indes wie blasser Kinder Todesreigen
    Um dunkle Brunnenränder, die verwittern,
    Im Wind sich fröstelnd blaue Astern neigen.“


    Verfall

    (I couldn´t find an english version of the poem.)
    Blue eyed honey in the sun
    Warm, wet and on the run
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run,....
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run

    On my way to the Soup Kitchen I stopped to catch my breath by a statue of Trakl, and, thinking of the music the latter generated, I began to weep.

    Am Abend tönen die herbstlichen Wälder
    Von tödlichen Waffen, die goldnen Ebenen
    Und blauen Seen, darüber die Sonne
    Düstrer hinrollt; umfängt die Nacht
    Sterbende Krieger, die wilde Klage
    Ihrer zerbrochenen Münder.
    Doch stille sammelt im Weidengrunde
    Rotes Gewölk, darin ein zürnender Gott wohnt
    Das vergossne Blut sich, mondne Kühle;
    Alle Straßen münden in schwarze Verwesung.
    Unter goldnem Gezweig der Nacht und Sternen
    Es schwankt der Schwester Schatten durch den schweigenden Hain,
    Zu grüßen die Geister der Helden, die blutenden Häupter;
    Und leise tönen im Rohr die dunkeln Flöten des Herbstes.
    O stolzere Trauer! ihr ehernen Altäre
    Die heiße Flamme des Geistes nährt heute ein gewaltiger Schmerz,
    Die ungebornen Enkel.


    Grodek
    Blue eyed honey in the sun
    Warm, wet and on the run
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run,....
    On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run
