Pioner, 'Peonies'
Det doftar mull,och parkens blomsterblunda i salighetdå regnets droppar flöda.Men liksom trötta synder,tunga, dystra,osläckligt flammande pioner glöda.Och medan än som brustnapurpurtoner i svarta mullenlösa blomblad dala,ensamt och gälltsom eviga passionerpionerna i aftondimma tala.
Peonies
A scent of earth,And all the flowers in the parkShut their eyes in blissWhen raindrops flooded fall.But like tired sins,Heavy, laden, Unquenchably brightly blazing peonies flame. And while yet like brokenPurple notes in black soilSingle petals tumble,Lonely and loudlyLike eternal passionsThe peonies in the evening fog declaim.

Pioner, 'Peonies'
Det doftar mull,
och parkens blomster
blunda i salighet
då regnets droppar flöda.
Men liksom trötta synder,
tunga, dystra,
osläckligt flammande pioner glöda.
Och medan än som brustna
purpurtoner i svarta mullen
lösa blomblad dala,
ensamt och gällt
som eviga passioner
pionerna i aftondimma tala.
Peonies
A scent of earth,
And all the flowers in the park
Shut their eyes in bliss
When raindrops flooded fall.
But like tired sins,
Heavy, laden,
Unquenchably brightly blazing peonies flame.
And while yet like broken
Purple notes in black soil
Single petals tumble,
Lonely and loudly
Like eternal passions
The peonies in the evening fog declaim.
