Beispui

AUTUMN

The autumn comes, a maiden fair 
In slenderness and grace, 
With nodding rice-stems in her hair 
And lilies in her face. 
In flowers of grasses she is clad; 
And as she moves along, 
Birds greet her with their cooing glad 
Like bracelets' tinkling song.

A diadem adorns the night Of multitudinous stars; 
Her silken robe is white moonlight, 
Set free from cloudy bars; 
And on her face (the radiant moon) 
Bewitching smiles are shown: 
She seems a slender maid, who soon 
Will be a woman grown.

Over the rice-fields, laden plants 
Are shivering to the breeze; 
While in his brisk caresses dance 
The blossomed-burdened trees; 
He ruffles every lily-pond 
Where blossoms kiss and part, 
And stirs with lover's fancies fond 
The young man's eager heart. 
Englische Ibasetzung vo Arthur W. Ryder (1877-1938).
