by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)
Translation by Hedwig Jahn (b. 1845)

Nevicata
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sui campi e su le strade
  Silenzïosa e lieve,
  Volteggiando, la neve
    Cade.

Danza la falda bianca
  Ne l'ampio ciel scherzosa,
  Poi sul terren si posa
    Stanca.

In mille immote forme
  Sui tetti e sui camini,
  Sui cippi e nei giardini
    Dorme.

Tutto dintorno è pace:
  Chiuso in oblìo profondo,
  Indifferente il mondo
    Tace....

Ma ne la calma immensa
  Torna ai ricordi il core,
  E ad un sopito amore
    Pensa.

Confirmed with Ada Negri, Fatalità, Milano, Fratelli Treves, 1911.

Schneefall
 (Sung text for setting by M. Gus)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Es fällt aus luft'ger Höh'
In leichtem Wirbelkreise
Auf Feld und Wiesen leise
Der Schnee.

In weichen Flocken fliegt
Er scherzend hin und wieder,
Bis müd' am Boden nieder
Er liegt.

Dann ruht der weiße Schnee
Auf Wiesen und auf Feldern,
Auf Bergen und auf Wäldern
Im Traum.

Wohin das Auge fällt,
Herrscht Frieden, und in Schweigen
Sank nach des Tages Reigen
Die Welt.

Die tiefe Stille senkt,
Ins Herz Erinnerungen
An Liebe, längst verklungen.
