The 7 Lives Poem Series
Another hour.
Another trace.
English version:
Just wait, and time will heal the wounds you fear,
Carbon copies, empty words, you drift and fall,
Yet You can feel the hours, bright and clear,
And one thing you will never find: A life that’s small.

Georgics I 204 ff.
It’s just as much concern for us
to watch how Stars behave
As for the ones returning homeward
on the Wind and Wave,
Who tempt the oyster-bearing jaws
of a Bottomless Grave.
So note the day that balances
the night with equal Hours:
When Light and Shadow split the globe
in half, employ such powers
That drive the Beast and sow the Seed
before the Winter Showers.

I couldn't find a full translation that I liked, but "Gist-zhe On" was Peretz Markish's last poem. Here's how Yiddishkayt translated part of it in 2012:
"Higher than the wings of birds
We climbed the mountains
And ascended, and reached the top,—
Now pour it out with a generous hand,
—May all our wishes
Now be fulfilled..."
okay! this is the #poem i was reminded of, translated by yours truly.
(took me a while to find as the publication is now defunct.)
it's "ballad of outward life" ("ballade des äußeren lebens") by hugo von hofmannsthal.
