Der See ruht tief im blauen Traum
Von Wasserblumen zugedeckt;
Ihr Vöglein hoch im Fichtenbaum,
Daß ihr mir nicht den Schläfer weckt!
Doch leise weht das Schilf und wiegt
Das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn;
Ein blauer Falter aber fliegt
Darüber einsam hin!

The lake is at rest deep in a blue dream
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The lake is at rest deep in a blue dream
covered by water lilies;
You, little bird high in the spruce tree,
Don't wake the sleeper!
But the reeds quietly blow and balance
Their tops with easy sense;
But a blue moth flies
Over them, alone, towards them.
