Blüten schneien.
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Japanese (日本語)
Blüten schneien.... ein Nebelschleier verhüllt den See. Die Wildgänse schreien am [heiligen]1 Weiher von Iware. Dunkler Träume Schar tanzt ihren [Reihen]2; mein Herz ist schwer: wenn übers Jahr die Wildgänse schreien, hör' ich's nicht mehr.

At the Holy Lake
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Blooms are falling.... a veil of mist covers lake and lea. The wildgeese now scream by the hallowed waters of Iware. Gloomy visions rise, waking or dreaming; My heart is drear: When gone a year, and wildgeese are screaming, I shall not hear!
From a Weingartner score.
