Unterm schutz von dichten blättergründen Wo von sternen feine flocken schneien · Sachte stimmen ihre leiden künden · Fabeltiere aus den braunen schlünden Strahlen in die marmorbecken speien · Draus die kleinen bäche klagend eilen: Kamen kerzen das gesträuch entzünden · Weisse formen das gewässer teilen.

Protette da fitto fogliame, dove nevicano fini fiocchi di stelle, voci leggere annunciano i loro dolori, fiabeschi animali dalle loro gole oscure gettano lucenti zampilli in bacini di marmo, da cui lamentosi traboccano sottili ruscelli: giungevano ceri a illuminare gli arbusti, candide forme a fendere le acque.
