A friend of mine and I must present this poem by Goethe in different languages... however, it was only really translated into English. I'd be really happy if someone could translate this into Swedish... it doesn't need to rhime or even sound old, just get the point across.
(Don't worry, it is not our task to translate it, it's not part of the presentation) The warder he gazes o' the night On the graveyards under him lying, The moon into clearness throws all by her light, The night with the daylight is vying. There's a stir in the graves, and forth from their tombs The form of a man, then a woman next looms In garments long trailing and snowy. 'Twas done soon as said; then he gained in wild flight Concealment behind the church portal, The moon all the while throws her bright beams of light On the dance where they revel and sport all. First one, then another, dispersed all are they, And donning their shrouds steal the spectres away, And under the graves all is quiet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

All of Göthes poetry has been translated to Swedish as far as I know.
If you give the name of the poem in German, someone might be able to help you find it. This is pretty high level English - I am not comfortable about giving a decent translation without some serious time expenditure, so I will not try. Try Cucumis, the translation site. 1 person has voted this message useful |
