Sprich nicht immer
Von dem laub ·
Windes raub ·
Vom zerschellen
Reifer quitten ·
Von den tritten

Von dem zittern

In gewittern
Und der lichter
Deren flimmer
Wandelbar.

Non parlare sempre
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Non parlare sempre
del fogliame,
preda del vento,
di schianti
di cotogne mature,
dei passi
della distruzione che avanza
alla fine dell'anno.
Del tremore
delle libellule
nella tempesta
e dei lumi,
dalla fragile
mutevole fiamma.
