Füllest wieder Busch und Thal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Füllest wieder Busch und Thal
Still mit Nebelglanz,
Lösest endlich auch einmal
Meine Seele ganz;

Breitest über mein Gefild
Lindernd deinen Blick,
Wie des Freundes Auge mild
Über mein Geschick.

Jeden Nachklang fühlt mein Herz
Froh- und trüber Zeit,
Wandle zwischen Freud' und Schmerz
In der Einsamkeit.

Fließe, fließe, lieber Fluß!
Nimmer werd' ich froh,
So verrauschte Scherz und Kuß,
Und die Treue so.

Ich besaß es doch einmal,
Was so köstlich ist!
Daß man doch zu seiner Qual
Nimmer es vergißt!

Rausche, Fluß, das Thal entlang,
Ohne Rast und Ruh,
Rausche, flüstre meinem Sang
Melodien zu,

Wenn du in der Winternacht
Wüthend überschwillst,
Oder um die Frühlingspracht
Junger Knospen quillst.

Selig, wer sich vor der Welt
Ohne Haß verschließt,
Einen Freund am Busen hält
Und mit dem genießt,

Was, von Menschen nicht gewußt
Oder nicht bedacht,
Durch das Labyrinth der Brust
Wandelt in der Nacht.

Aan de maan
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Jij vervult weer bos en dal
Stil met neev'lig licht,
Maakt nu eind'lijk en totaal
Mijn ziel los en licht.

Jij kijkt mild van ver en hoog
Over mijn gebied,
Als een vriend'lijk vriendenoog
Dat mijn zorgen ziet.

O, hoe echoot in mijn hart
Blijd' en droeve tijd.
'k Pendel tussen vreugd en smart
in de eenzaamheid.

Vloei maar, vloei maar, beste stroom!
Nooit meer word ik blij;
Zo vervlogen scherts en droom,
En de trouw erbij.

Toch bezat ik dat eenmaal,
Wat zó kostbaar is!
Dat men toch, al is 't een kwaal,
't Elke dag weer mist.

Ruis, rivier, het dal maar door,
Zonder rust en zonder duur,
Ruis en fluister in mijn oor
Melodieën puur,

Als je in de winternacht
't land bestormt en kwelt,
Of rond jonge knoppenpracht
In de lente zwelt.

Zalig, wie zich van de drukt'
Afsluit zonder haat,
Die een vriend aan 't harte drukt
En met hem verstaat,

Wat, voor mensen onverklaard
Ofwel niet bedacht,
Door de doolhof van het hart
Rondzwerft in de nacht.
