Die Straßenecke
Wo der Wind die Blätter
treibt
Und Regen pladdert
At the street corner
Where the wind is driving leaves
And pattering rain
Leichter Regen fällt
Auf Äste kahler Bäume
Dann dicke Tropfen
A light rain’s falling
On the twigs of barren trees
Thick drops running down
Trüber Herbstmorgen
Einsamer Weg im Regen
Die Elster stolziert
Dull autumn morning
Lonely road in falling rain
A magpie parades, though
Nicely done .. I enjoyed them very much! Bastet

ReplyDeleteI could see your German lines shaped into Rilke's form used in Herbsttag: 3/4/5/ lines. I love that format - like an updated sonnet.
