Wie Melodien zieht es
Mir leise durch den Sinn,
Wie Frühlingsblumen blüht es,
Und schwebt wie Duft dahin.
Doch kommt das Wort und faßt es
Und führt es vor das Aug',
Wie Nebelgrau erblaßt es
Und schwindet wie ein Hauch.
Und dennoch ruht im Reime
Verborgen wohl ein Duft,
Den mild aus stillem Keime
Ein feuchtes Auge ruft.

Mar cheolta sí ag teacht chugam
Language: Irish (Gaelic)  after the German (Deutsch)
Mar cheolta sí ag teacht chugam
I m’aignese go séimh,
Mar bhlátha earraigh úra
Go cumhra tríd an aer.
An briathar beireann greim air
Is tugtar é don tsúil,
Is imíonn is gan feidhm leis
Mar anáil nó mar dhrúcht.
Fós féin sa dán tá fáil air
Mar chumhracht ina rún,
Ag éalú as na blátha
Ar ghlaoch ón deoir sa tsúil.
