DIE JUNGE FRANZ

Hugo von Hofmannsthal(1874-1929)

Fate reserved him
an end worthy of his pen:

A child of his loins
quieting their own heart
brought him
the silence of the Earth
resting heavily
upon his unmoving bosom.

(Praise to be to the privileged
who not only end their own privilege,
without a hope of resurrection,
but their fathers' as well.)
