Der alte Kaiser steht im Garten und wirft Schatten.
So überflutet ihn der Mond. Der Kaiser träumt:
In die vergoldeten Paläste strömten Ratten,
und in den Sälen seien wilde Pferde aufgezäumt.
Die ritten Tote, und ein dumpfes Klagen
zerriß die Erde, und der Kaiser flieht
und schreit zum Mond hinauf: Dich muß ich haben.
Und hofft auf einen, der ihn in den Himmel zieht.
Schlaf, Kaiser, schlaf,
denn morgen werden sie kommen.
Du hast ihnen viel zuviel
von ihrem Leben genommen.
Der alte Kaiser steht im Garten und wird älter
und ängstigt sich und hebt verwirrt die Hand.
Die kaiserlichen Nächte werden kälter,
ein harter Atem überfällt das Land.
Schon schmieden sie am Horizont die Schwerter,
der Glanz der fetten Zeiten ist verpufft.
Der Kaiser spürt: er war schon mal begehrter,
und gräbt sich eine Kuhle in die Luft.
Schlaf, Kaiser, schlaf,
denn morgen werden sie kommen.
Du hast ihnen viel zuviel
von ihrem Leben genommen.
Der alte Kaiser steht zum letztenmal im Garten.
Noch ein paar Stunden, und der Kaiser war.
Er läßt die Arme falln, die viel zu zarten,
und wittert und ergibt sich der Gefahr.
Die Tränen der Paläste werden Meere.
Sogar die Ratten fliehen mit der Nacht.
Und mit der neuen Sonne stürmen stolze Heere
die alte Zeit und ringen um die Macht.
Stirb, Kaiser, stirb,
denn heute noch werden sie kommen.
Du hast eben viel zuviel
von ihrem Leben genommen
