Inschrift
Auf die Strudlhofstiege / zu Wien /
Wenn die Blätter auf den Stufen liegen / herbstlich atmet aus den alten Stiegen / was vor Zeiten über sie gegangen. / Mond darin sich zweie dicht umfangen / hielten leichte Schuh und schwere Tritte / die bemooste Vase in der Mitte / überdauert Jahre zwischen Kriegen. / Viel ist hingesunken uns zur Trauer / und das Schöne zeigt die kleinste Dauer. / Heimito von Doderer

Inscription
On the Strudlhofstiege / in Vienna /
When the leaves lie on the steps / autumnal breathes out from the old staircase / what once passed over them. / Moon within which two closely embraced / light shoes and heavy footfalls held / the mossy vase in the middle / outlasts years between wars. / Much has sunk away to our sorrow / and the beautiful shows the briefest duration. / Heimito von Doderer
