Spaziergang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE NOR
Sie wandeln durch des Waldes Grün.
Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.
Ein blasser Mann und ein stilles Kind.
Sie schlürfen durstig den Frühlingswind.
Und der Knabe bleibt verwundert stehn:
"Ich glaub', ich kann die Mutter sehn."
Sie starren in das junge Grün . . .
Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.

Stroll
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
They wander through the green of the woods.
Birds are singing and flowers are blooming.
A pale man and a silent child.
Thirstily they drink in the spring breeze.
And the boy stands still in astonishment:
"I believe that I can see my mother."
They stare into the fresh greenery . . .
Birds are singing and flowers are blooming.
