Romantiker-Bildnisse
Herrn John Höxter gewidmet
1.
Noch bin ich nichts als zweier Lippen
Sehnsüchtig aufgeworfnes Weich,
An dessen Bögen Falter nippen,
Und noch sind meine Blicke bleich
Und oft verschlossen im Geträume
Vor früher Blumen starkem Duft . . .
Und noch verlocken mich die Bäume,
Aus deren Laut der Abend ruft.

Romantic Portraits
Mister John Höxter bestowed
1.
I’m nothing if not a pair of lips
Lovingly thrown open to yield
The soft bows where a butterfly sips
‘Neath eyes whose colors are concealed
Locked more often than not in some dream
As an early flower’s scent falls . . .
And the trees sway to temp and redeem,
While the voice of the evening calls.
Edgar Ende Under the Cantilever (circa 1913)
