Sapphische Oden
II.
Langsam hob sich die Nacht aus Dämmerschleiern
Und ein warmer Duft durchströmte den Garten
Gleich wie Frauenglieder so fühlte ich plötzlich
Die Nacktheit der Nacht.
Mit den weißen liebespendenden Händen
Streift das Mondlicht ihr die entblößten Brüste
Und ihr Seufzen klang von den roten Blumen
Als es sie küßte.
Und ich floh verwundet und wirr den Garten
Der mir alles Leben in Lust verwandelt.
Ich, die einst nicht Liebe verstehen wollte,
Nun fiel ich ihr zu – – – –
Wer mich Zärtlichkeit gelehrt, willst du wissen?
Liebe mich und gib dich ohne zu fragen,
Denn ich küß in deiner geliebten Schönheit
Die Nacktheit der Nacht. [i]

The Two Sapphic Odes
II.
The night rose slowly through the veils of twilight
As a shy, warm scent wafted from the garden
Like the limbs of a woman, and thus I felt
The nakedness of night.
With her loving white hands, the moonlight caressed
The unclothed, unguarded breasts, and then kissed them
While the woman’s sounds resembled the sighing
Of red flowers blooming.
And I fled from the garden that would wound me,
That would confuse by turning life into joy.
I, who once did not want to understand this love,
Fell completely to her – – – –
Who taught me this tenderness, you want to know?
Love me, give yourself without question, I say,
For in your beloved beauty I’ll be kissing
The nakedness of night.
