Unterm schutz von dichten blättergründen
Wo von sternen feine flocken schneien ·
Sachte stimmen ihre leiden künden ·
Fabeltiere aus den braunen schlünden
Strahlen in die marmorbecken speien ·
Draus die kleinen bäche klagend eilen:
Kamen kerzen das gesträuch entzünden ·
Weisse formen das gewässer teilen.

Sous l'abri de l'épais feuillage
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sous l'abri de l'épais feuillage,
Où tombe une fine neige d'étoiles,
Douces voix, dites vos chagrins,
Des créatures mythiques aux gorges brunes
Étincelantes crachent dans les bassins de marbre,
En dehors les petits ruisseaux en se plaignant se hâtent :
Venez bougies éclairer les fourrés,
Blanches formes divisez les eaux.
