Der Nachtwind hat in den Bäumen

Der Nachtwind hat in den Bäumen
Sein Rauschen eingestellt,
Die Vögel sitzen und träumen
Am Aste traut gesellt.

Die ferne schmächtige Quelle,
Weil alles andre ruht,
Läßt hörbar nun Welle auf Welle
Hinflüstern ihre Flut.

Und wenn die Nähe verklungen,
Dann kommen an die Reih
Die leisen Erinnerungen
Und weinen fern vorbei.

Daß alles vorübersterbe,
Ist alt und allbekannt;
Doch diese Wehmut, die herbe,
Hat niemand noch gebannt.

Yötuuli on puissa

Yötuuli on puissa
vaimentanut suhinansa,
linnut istuvat uneksien
oksillaan hellästi keskenään.
 
Kun kaikki muu nukkuu,
kaukainen riutuva lähde
saa aalloittain kuuluville
kuiskatun solinansa.
 
Ja kun äänet ympäriltä ovat vaienneet,
kulkevat kukin vuorollaan
hiljaiset muistot
ja itkut kaukaa ohitse.
 
Että kaikki aikanaan kuolee,
on vanhastaan tuttua kaikille;
mutta näin katkera alakuloisuus
ei ole vielä saanut ketään muuta valtaansa.
