Die Schleiche singt ihr Nachtgebet
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Schleiche singt ihr Nachtgebet,
die Waldgeiß staunend vor ihr steht.
Die Waldgeiß schüttelt ihren Bart
wie ein Magister hochgelahrt.
Sie weiß nicht, was die Schleiche singt,
sie hört nur, daß es lieblich klingt.
Die Schleiche fällt in Schlaf alsbald.
Die Geiß geht sinnend durch den Wald.

Chèvre et lézard
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le lézard chante sa prière du soir,
la chèvre se tient devant lui, étonnée.
La chèvre secoue sa barbe
comme un docte maître.
Elle ne sait pas ce que chante le lézard,
elle entend seulement que cela est suave.
Peu après le lézard s'endort.
La chèvre songeuse s'en va dans la forêt.
