Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
Horat.
Es rieselt, klar und wehend,
Ein Quell im Eichenwald;
Da wähl' ich, einsam gehend,
Mir meinen Aufenthalt.
Mir dienet zur Capelle
Ein Gröttchen, duftigfrisch;
Zu meiner Klausnerzelle
Verschlungenes Gebüsch.
...
Nichts unterbricht das Schweigen
Der Wildniß weit und breit,
Als wenn auf dürren Zweigen
Ein Grünspecht hackt und schreyt,
Ein Rab' auf hoher Spitze
Bemooster Tannen krächzt,
Und in der Felsenritze
Ein Ringeltäubchen ächzt.

Amat nemus et fugit urbes.
Horat.
Brolla, clara i onejant,
una font en el bosc de roures;
allà opto, caminant tot sol,
de fer-hi sojorn.
Com capella, em serveix
una cova, fresca i airejada;
per a la meva cel·la d’ermitatge,
matossars entrelligats.
...
Res destorba el silenci
de l’ermàs, llegües a la rodona,
tret del pigot que, damunt
branques seques, picoteja i crida,
un corb gralla, a l’abrinada punta
d’un molsós avet
i, a la clivella del rocam,
un tudó parrupa.
