Feldeinsamkeit

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA

Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras
Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben,
Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß,
Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben.

Und schöne weiße Wolken ziehn dahin
Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume; --
Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin,
Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume.

Eenzaam in het veld

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Ik lig hier stil in ’t hoge groene gras
En wend al lange tijd mijn blik naar boven,
Door krekels steeds omringd met scherp gekras,
Te gast in heerlijk blauwe hemelhoven.
 
En mooie witte wolken drijven heen
Door ’t diepe blauw, als mooie stille dromen;
Mij is ’t alsof ik lang gestorven ben,
En zalig door ’t heelal word meegenomen.
