Sur le chemin du bord du fleuve lentement
Un ours un singe un chien menes par des tziganes
Suivaient une roulotte trainee par un ane
Tandis que s'eloignait dans les vignes rhenanes
Sur un fifre lointain un air de regiment
Le mai le joli mai a pare les ruines

Coiffes de feutres verts le matin du sabbat

sourire
Ottomar Scholem et Abraham Loeweren sont en colere
Parce que pendant le sabbat on ne doit pas fumer
Tandis que les chretiens passent avec des cigares allumes
Et parce qu'Ottomar et Abraham aiment tous deux
Lia aux yeux de brebis et dont le ventre avance un peu
Pourtant tout a l'heure dans la synagogue l'un apres l'autre
Ils baiseront la thora en soulevant leur beau chapeau
Parmi les feuillards de la fete des cabanes
Ottomar en chantant sourira a Abraham
Ils
dechanteront
sans mesure et les voix graves des hommes
Feront gemir un Leviathan au fond du Rhin comme une voix d'automne
Et dans la synagogue pleine de chapeaux on agitera les loulabim
Hanoten ne Kamoth bagoim tholahoth baleoumim
Les cloches
Mon beau tzigane mon amant
Ecoute les cloches qui sonnent
Nous nous aimions eperdument
Croyant n'etre vus de personne
Mais nous etions bien mal caches
Toutes les cloches a la ronde
Nous ont vus du haut des clochers
Et le disent a tout le monde
Demain Cyprien et Henri
Marie Ursule et Catherine
La boulangere et son mari
Et puis Gertrude ma cousine
Souriront quand je passerai
Je ne saurai plus ou me mettre
Tu seras loin Je pleurerai
J'en mourrai peut-etre
La Loreley
A Jean Seve
A Bacharach il y avait une sorciere blonde
Qui laissait mourir d'amour tous les hommes a la ronde
Devant son tribunal l'eveque la fit citer
D'avance il l'absolvit a cause de sa beaute
O belle Loreley aux yeux pleins de pierreries
De quel magicien tiens-tu ta sorcellerie
Je suis lasse de vivre et mes yeux sont maudits
Ceux qui m'ont regardee eveque en ont peri
Mes yeux ce sont des flammes et non des pierreries
Jetez jetez aux flammes cette sorcellerie
Je flambe dans ces flammes O belle Loreley
Qu'un autre te condamne tu m'as ensorcele
Eveque vous riez Priez plutot pour moi la Vierge
Faites-moi donc mourir et que Dieu vous protege
Mon amant est parti pour un pays lointain
Faites-moi donc mourir puisque je n'aime rien
Mon coeur me fait si mal il faut bien que je meure
Si je me regardais il faudrait que j'en meure
Mon coeur me fait si mal depuis qu'il n'est plus la
Mon coeur me fit si mal du jour ou il s'en alla
L'eveque fit venir trois chevaliers avec leurs lances
Menez jusqu'au couvent cette femme en demence
Va t'en Lore en folie va Lore aux yeux tremblants
Tu seras une nonne vetue de noir et blanc
Puis ils s'en allerent sur la route tous les quatre
La Loreley les implorait et ses yeux brillaient comme des astres
Chevaliers laissez-moi monter sur ce rocher si haut
Pour voir une fois encore mon beau chateau
Pour me mirer une fois encore dans le fleuve
Puis j'irai au couvent des vierges et des veuves
La-haut le vent tordait ses cheveux deroules
Les chevaliers criaient Loreley Loreley
Tout la-bas sur le Rhin s'en vient une nacelle
Et mon amant s'y tient il m'a vue il m'appelle
Mon coeur devient si doux c'est mon amant qui vient
Elle se penche alors et tombe dans le Rhin
Pour avoir vu dans l'eau la belle Loreley
Ses yeux couleur du Rhin ses cheveux de soleil
Schinderhannes
Dans la foret avec sa bande
Schinderhannes s'est desarme
Le brigand pres de sa brigande
Hennit d'amour au joli mai
Benzel accroupi lit la Bible
Sans voir que son chapeau pointu
A plume d'aigle sert de cible
A Jacob Born le mal foutu
Juliette Blaesius qui rote
Fait semblant d'avoir le hoquet
Hannes pousse une fausse note
Quand Schulz vient portant un baquet
Et s'ecrie en versant des larmes
Baquet plein de vin parfume
Viennent aujourd'hui les gendarmes
Nous aurons bu le vin de mai
Allons Julia la mam'zelle
Bois avec nous ce clair bouillon
D'herbes et de vin de Moselle
Prosit Bandit en cotillon
Cette brigande est bientot soule
Et veut Hannes qui n'en veut pas
Pas d'amour maintenant ma poule
Sers-nous un bon petit repas
Il faut ce soir que j'assassine
Ce riche juif au bord du Rhin
Au clair des torches de resine
La fleur de mai c'est le florin
On mange alors toute la bande
Pete et rit pendant le diner
Puis s'attendrit a l'allemande
Avant d'aller assassiner
Rhenane d'automne
A Toussaint-Luca
Les enfants des morts vont jouer
Dans le cimetiere
Martin Gertrude Hans et Henri
Nul coq n'a chante aujourd'hui
Kikiriki
Les vieilles femmes
Tout en pleurant cheminent
Et les bons anes
Braillent hi han et se mettent a brouter les fleurs
Des couronnes mortuaires
C'est le jour des morts et de toutes leurs ames
Les enfants et les vieilles femmes
Allument des bougies et des cierges
Sur chaque tombe catholique
Les voiles des vieilles
Les nuages du ciel
Sont comme des barbes de biques
L'air tremble de flammes et de prieres
Le cimetiere est un beau jardin
Plein de saules gris et de romarins
Il vous vient souvent des amis qu'on enterre
ah!

And the ears of the horse went sinking away in the hollow night,
For, as drift from a sailor slow
drowning
the gleams
of the world and the sun,
Ceased on our hands and our faces, on hazel and oak leaf, the light,
And the stars were blotted above us, and the whole of the world was one.

Megara and Dead Adonis |
|
All are but parts of one stupendous whole,
Whose body Nature is, and God the soul;
That, changed through all, and yet in all the same;
Great in the earth, as in the ethereal frame;
Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze,
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees,
Lives through all life, extends through all extent,
Spreads undivided,
operates
unspent;
Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part,
As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart:
As full, as perfect, in vile man that mourns,
As the rapt seraph that adores and burns:
To him no high, no low, no great, no small;
He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all.
