590 Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth [German translation]

Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth —

Widths out of the Sun —

And look — and shudder, and block your breath —

And deem to be alone

In such a place, what horror,

How Goblin it would be —

And fly, as 'twere pursuing you?

Then Loneliness — looks so —

Did you ever look in a Cannon's face —

Between whose Yellow eye —

And yours — the Judgment intervened —

The Question of "To die" —

Extemporizing in your ear

As cool as Satyr's Drums —

If you remember, and were saved —

It's liker so — it seems —
