Über die Alpen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das ist ein Wandern, wenn der Schnee
Der Alpenberge kühl erglänzt,
Indes der erste blaue See
Italiens schon die Sicht begrenzt!
Durch Höhenwind und herbe Luft
Weht eine süße Ahnung her
Von violettem Ferneduft
Und südlich übersonntem Meer.
Und weiter sehnt das Auge sich
Zum hellen Florentiner Dom
Und träumt nach jedem Hügelstrich
Aufsteigend das beglänzte Rom.
Schon formt die Lippe unbewußt
Der fremden schönen Sprache Laut,
Indes ein Meer verklärter Lust
Dir schauernd warm entgegenblaut.

Au‑dessus des Alpes
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Voilà une randonnée lorsque la neige
Des montagnes des Alpes jette un éclat froid,
Tandis qu'à la limite du regard apparaît
Le premier lac bleu d'Italie !
Dans le vent des sommets et l'air âpre,
Passe ici la douce annonce
Du parfum lointain des violettes
Et d'une mer du sud baignée de soleil.
Et plus loin les yeux désirent
La claire cathédrale florentine
Et rêvent à cette ligne de collines
S'élevant dans une Rome resplendissante.
Inconsciemment les lèvres forment déjà
Le beau langage étranger du luth,
Tandis qu'une mer de plaisirs transfigurés
Vous inonde d'un chaud et bleu frisson.
