Christian Morgenstern, | Christian Morgenstern, | |
| translated by Sven Collberg | translated by Alexander Gross | |
| En varulv lopp från fru m.m. | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | |
| en vacker afton samt begav | Left wife and brood one night and came | |
| sig till en bymagisters grav | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | |
| och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera. | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | |
| mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | |
| på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | |
| med svar till den, som satt på pass | The seer arose a bit unsteady | |
| med tåligt korslagd tass på tass. | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | |
| “Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing., | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | |
| du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | |
| vi voro-ulv, I voren. På | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | |
| de voro-ulv kom ingenting.” | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | |
| Varulven myste glad åt hur | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | |
| pers. hade följts av sing. och plur. | The future form and participle | |
| “Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | |
| en enda pers. i tempus presens?” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | |
| Bekänna måste vår magister, | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | |
| att därvidlag fanns vissa brister. | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | |
| En varulv sine imperfecto | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | |
| var contradictio in adjecto. | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | |
| Varulven satt med tårad lins. | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | |
| Han visste att han fanns och finns. | At home, and homewards now he crept, | |
| Därtill kom också fru m.m. | Happy, humble, without apology | |
| som även måste existera. | For such folly of philology. | |
