Question

Translate this sentence in to English:

Ich möchte, wann ich sterbe, wie die lichten
Gestirne schnell und unbewußt erbleichen,
Erliegen möcht’ ich einst des Todes Streichen,
Wie Sagen uns vom Pindaros berichten.
Ich will ja nicht im Leben oder Dichten
Den großen Unerreichlichen erreichen,
Ich möcht’, o Freund, ihm nur im Tode gleichen;
Doch höre nun die schönste der Geschichten!
Er saß im Schauspiel, vom Gesang beweget,
Und hatte, der ermüdet war, die Wangen
Auf seines Lieblings schönes Knie geleget:
Als nun der Chöre Melodien verklangen,
Will wecken ihn, der ihn so sanft geheget,
Doch zu den Göttern war er heimgegangen.

He sat in the theater, moved by singing,
and, tired, had laid his cheeks upon

Will awaken him who gently walked him,
But he had gone to the gods.
