Schlobin, 1943 English version by Tom Schnick

First snow is falling
Menace over silent treetops
Alters into mute floating
Wraps corpses in white veils
Impressing a last seal in their mouth
Lord! 

Let me elapse in tearless severity!
Forgive my errantry on wrong trails
And teach me humility!

Hans Schnick 1943, English version by Tom Schnick 2008
