Wie eine Primaballerina
Voller Anmut schwebt sie leise In den golddurchwirkten Saal Trifft auf traeumerische Weise Seelenleicht der Schritte Wahl
Wiegt in Taenzerischer Pose Laechelnd bald zu Mitte sich Spuert den Duft der Himmerlsrose Zart zerbrechlich ewiglich
Hebt den Blick zum Abendsterne Losgeloest von Zeit und Raum Sinkt herab aus weiter Ferne Und vergeht in tiefem Traum
Ich denke, dass es unmoeglich ist dieses Gedicht zu uebersetzen. Denn beim Uebersetzen wuerde die Schoenheit des Gedichts verloren gehen. Das Gedicht wuerde sich auch nicht mehr reimen.

Thank you for trying...! I understood these poem in German bits and pieces... but.. I just wanted to see.. "someone can do a better job for me..?!?! Put everything together..?!?!" As oldinick & steffen san said..., may be I should just leave the way it is...? to preserve the beauty of the "poem"... But of course, any other people who might want to try... would be nice...!

Ich denke, ich war nicht ganz klar was ich habe von Ihnen erwartet.
My intension should have been... NOT making deutchen Gedicht into English poem, but simply translating German poem into English/Japanese "explanations", not necessary poem form. Probably, it would have been better and easier.
Another purpose was... my Japanese friend wanted to read this German poem. She prefers Japanese, but English would be o.k. as well thus... this was also the reason I decided to ask everyone. "Two heads are better than one", right..? I DO have a clear idea/meaning of this "beautiful poem" (not in English "poem" form), but I just wanted to ask what other people think.
You guys study Chinese poem (kanbun/kobun..?!) in schools and translate them, try to understand what the author was trying to say hundreds of years ago, correct..? I know.. a "word" normally contains more than one meaning... = "you have to see ballet to understand the true meaning of the poem/what the poet was trying to say".... yes, of course, I agree... but... I just thought it would be possible to hear different prospectives of this poem from different people. I appreciate your opinion, though. Thanks...!

oh.. no no no.... "I" am sorry for misunderstanding. I re-read my "topic" above in Japanese, and... indeed... I was asking for a poem form.... I "should have" asked for a simple translation.
