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.

Answer 1

I want when I die, as the clear 
pale stars, quickly and unconsciously, 
halt I should like once of death spreading, 
as legends tell us from Pindar. 
I do not want to reach 
the great unattainable in life or poetry . 
I would like to be like him, only in death. 
Now listen to the most beautiful of the stories! 
He sat in the theater, moved by singing, 
and, tired, had laid his cheeks upon 
his favorite fine knee. 
When the chorus melted, 
Will awaken him who gently walked him, 
But he had gone to the gods.

This is the correct translation. Have a great day!
