"The Alpe d'Huez from Holzhausen"

Oh holy 9% gradient,
you hellish climb, agonizing, slanting –
whoever conquers it with a steely bend,
deserves a monument. Or care.

Your legs burn, your breath gasps,
the bike crawls forward like a snail.
"I can do it!" you scream angrily,
but inwardly you pray: "Oh, break my senses!"

The neighbors grin behind fences,
they see the spectacle every year:
"There! Another one who tried it!"
"The next idiot with a racing bike!"

But then at the top – what a sweet turnaround! –
Holzhausen lies peacefully small.
You babble: "I did it... oh, the end..."
and swear: "Never again! NEVER! ... Well, maybe. Someday. We'll see."
