Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG ENG GER GER

Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête,
  Les fleurs des champs, des bois,
Éclatent de plaisir, hélas ! et sur leur tête
  Le vent enfle sa voix.

Mais toi, noble Océan, que l’assaut des tourmentes
  Ne saurait ravager,
Certes, plus dignement, lorsque tu te lamentes,
  Tu te prends à songer.

Lebhafte Weise

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Der Reichtum des Obstgartens und der Garten im Festgewande,
die Blumen auf dem Felde und im Walde bersten vor Glück,
aber ach -- über ihnen erhebt der Wind seine Stimme.

Du jedoch, edler Ozean, den das Toben der Stürme
nicht verwüsten konnte,
gewiss wirst du, mit mehr Würde, wehklagst du erst,
dich in Träumen verfangen.
