10. Raub (Theft)
Rote, fürstliche Rubine,
Blutge Tropfen alten Ruhmes,
Schlummern in den Totenschreinen,
Drunten in den Grabgewolben.
Nachts, mit seinen Zechkumpanen,
Steigt Pierrot hinab - zu rauben
Rote, fürstliche Rubine,
Blutge Tropfen alten Ruhmes.
Doch da - strauben sich die Haare,
Bleiche Furcht bannt sie am Platze:
Durch die Finsternis - wie Augen! -
Stieren aus den Totenschreinen
Rote, fürstliche Rubine.
Red, princely rubies,
Bloody drops of old fame,
Sleep in the deads' caskets,
Below in the grave vaults.
Nights, with his cronies,
Pierrot descends--to rob
Red, princely rubies,
Bloody drops of old fame.
But there--their hair on end,
Pale fear charms them to the spot:
Through the gloom--like eyes--
Stare from the deads' caskets
Red, princely rubies.
