Original Text:
Hugo, lorgnant les voutes bleues,
Au Seigneur demande tout bas:
Pourquoi les astres ont des queues
Quand les Burgraves n'en ont pas.


Translation:
Hugo stares at the sky and cloud
And begs the Lord to say:
Why comets nightly draw a crowd
But not his Burgraves' play.

Or

Hugo eyes the canopies of heaven
And ask the lord with candour
Why stars have long lines trailing behind
While Burgraves has no line at all.
