If a goat floats to the mountain of your fathers,
if she falls down in the rock sea,
if her soul gives to my mouth later
and a sin, thus fat and hard.
If she sends away up to the end of the dunes,
from Your middle from now on, from now on,
if she sends here to expiate your actions,
under the sun - at my place:
Under the sun: Bleached bones,
under the sun: Putrescent fur,
under the sun God has spoken
with a voice like miracle brightly.
With a voice like distant shimmering
lure I the flies to the meat.
If my smell may confuse them though powerfully,
if her decision swings, nevertheless, also in it.
If then the dead person consumed and eaten
and only the skull still holy laughs,
if I have measured life and death
with my hours of umflammender power.
Has the animal presented himself then from same?
If it was aware of his regulation
or if it substituted only for one life,
Priest - that you must not die?
~
More than the harmless monster,
more than the yelling of the dumb bride
if fire always packed me of the people:
Curiously I have looked at them.
With an invisibly grinning eye
if I have disdained all your victims:
What then an animal to me is good as a victim,
ask I if there a virgin stands?
One of You always brought the goat -
if his soul with mine has exchanged,
further walked to the old man and to the cradle,
has intoxicated me in your prayers!
If it could feel, how people made:
Has suffered and has sung,
has quarrelled and has laughed
and with the heavenly eye struggled
Has told about the beginning of the earth,
if the wisdom of the fathers has praised
and a juicy pasture elective
to my place of rest in the midst of the meadows.
After one year, a moon, one day
if I have flown back in the desert
and then am again, as well as I like it,
around my hill of the goats pulled.
~
If I at lonesome nights go away
above the valleys, to the mountain,
if I see the castle and the walls - and live
in the recollection to rich sense.
At my lonesome nights wakes
I in the emptiness which fulfils me,
a forgotten flame and decorates
they with the sky of forgotten world.
At my burning nights leaves
I my desert and become a wind,
spread the wings and strive and touches
The God because with him my brothers are.
