Что ты клонишь над водами
Language: Russian (Русский)
Что ты клонишь над водами, Ива, макушку свою? И дрожащими листами, Словно жадными устами, Ловишь беглую струю? Хоть томится, хоть трепещет Каждый лист твой над струей... Но струя бежит и плещет, И, на солнце нежась, блещет, И смеётся над тобой...

Die Weide
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Warum tief zum Wasser senkst du, Weidenbaum, dein schwankes Haupt? Deine Zweige zitternd hängst du, In die Flut, die flüchtige, drängst du Gierig, wie man Küsse raubt. Wie auch zitternd wie auch bangend Jedes Blatt sich drängt zur Flut: In der Sonne Schimmer prangend, Springt sie fort, vor dir nicht bangend, Lacht dich aus voll Übermuth.
