Abendwolke

So stille ruht im Hafen
Das tiefe Wasser dort,
Die Ruder sind entschlafen,
Die Schifflein sind im Port.

Nur oben in dem Äther
Der lauen Maiennacht,
Dort segelt noch ein später
Friedfertger Ferge sacht.

Die Barke still und dunkel
Fährt hin in Dämmerschein
Und leisem Sterngefunkel
Am Himmel und hinein.

Nuage du soir

Là-bas dans le port calmement
Reposent les eaux profondes,
Les rames sont endormies,
Les barques sont au port.

Seul là-haut dans l'éther
De la tiède nuit de mai,
Au loin navigue encore doucement
Un pacifique marin attardé.

Sa barque silencieuse et sombre
Passe dans les lueurs du crépuscule
Et dans le léger scintillement
Des étoiles dans le ciel.
