Der See ruht tief im blauen Traum

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE POR SPA

Der See [ruht]¹ tief im [blauen]² Traum
Von Wasserblumen zugedeckt;
Ihr Vöglein hoch im [Fichtenbaum]³,
Daß ihr [mir]⁴ nicht den Schläfer weckt!

Doch leise weht das Schilf und wiegt 
Das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn;
Ein blauer Falter aber fliegt
Darüber einsam hin!
