A year’s nothing when you’re done with it
A year is nothing if you plaster it away,
a year is a lot if you use it.
A year is nothing; if you flatten it;
a year was much, if one thought it through completely.
A year was much, if one lived it completely;
enjoyed and strived for in one’s own mind.
The year was nothing, for all the joy dead,
which offered us inside not a new one.
The year was rich in all suffering,
that hit us with the spirit’s stroke.
An empty year was short, a full one long:
Only the full measure of life’s course,
an empty year is delusion, a full one is true.
Be everyone full this good, new year.
(Hanns Freiherr von Gumppenberg)
Again and again
Winter went, summer came.
It brings again
The much loved miracle stuff
Flowers and songs.
How it changes year by year,
Consider me almost with worries.
What lived, died, what is, it was,
And today becomes tomorrow.
Always must the Bildnerin nature
Using the old sound
In house and garden, forest and meadow
To her new sketches.
(Wilhelm Busch)
At the turn of the year
It hallet dull the twelfth hour,
The important moment is approaching
Because on the whole earth round
Turns alternately now the fate.
We stand at the entrance of new times,
We look ahead forebodingly;
Trust may only accompany us
Out into the wild sea of life.
What will the new year bring us? –
Many a hope, deception and success!
(Excerpt from "At the turn of the year" by Heinrich Martin)
Perhaps –
What should I wonder and toil
What brings the new year?
A hope and despair
And snow maybe in the hair.
Maybe a ribbon in the buttonhole,
Perhaps a twig to the hat,
Perhaps a child’s hand,
That flattering friendly does.
Maybe a game and dance
On a laughing summer day,
Maybe a laurel wreath,
That long ago lay in my mind.
Perhaps a gentle breeze
From blooming gardens,
Maybe a reunion
On storm-lashed sea.
Perhaps a fragrant posy,
That fell from the heaving bosom,
Maybe a wooden cottage
As a last hiking destination.
Oh, to the last walls
My last goal reached,
You remain in sweet shivers
My human consolation ‘Maybe!’
(Rudolf Presber)
New Year’s Eve
That soon the new year begins,
I don’t feel in the least.
I just notice: Time is slipping away
Just like at Whitsun,
Just like thousands of times a year.
But people want grip and data.
I hear emotion, booze, scandal,
I dine on roast hare.
With Cumberland, and vis-à-vis
Sitting by the nurses
The most sensual. I know them
Good, although only since yesterday.
Champagne pushes, lies and speaks true.
Cheers, merciful sister!
At! In my bed! And cheers New Year!
Rasch! Cheers! Cheers New Year’s Eve!
Time slips away. The spider, spins
In secret tissues.
When a year begins tonight,
Begins a new life.
