Trakl

I'm currently reading Margitt Lehbert's translation of Georg Trakl's poems and thought I'd leave this verse here
Amid red leaves hung with guitars
Streams the young girls' yellow hair
By the fence where sunflowers tower.
Through clouds a golden cart moves on.

Wonderful, though the imagery becomes a little more down to earth in the following verses!
