Der Wiesenbach

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Kühl-und-klarer! Ohne Laut
führst du über Moos und helle
Steine die bewegte Welle,
Busch und Wiese gleich vertraut.

Blätter, Blumen, Früchte schwanken
Dann und wann auf dir dahin,
Wie verlorene Gedanken
Einer großen Träumerin.

Le ruisseau de la prairie

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Toi, frais et clair ! Sans bruit
tu mènes sur la mousse et les pierres
claires tes vagues agitées,
intime des buissons et des prairies.

Des feuilles, des fleurs et des fruits ici et là
se balancent au-dessus de toi,
comme les pensées perdues
d'une grande rêveuse.
