Un sapin isolé se dresse sur une montagne Aride du Nord. Il sommeille. La glace et la neige l'environne D'un manteau blanc. Il rêve d'un palmier qui là-bas Dans l'Orient lointain se désole, Solitaire et taciturne, Sur la pente de son rocher brûlant.

Eine Tanne steht einsam auf einem Berg im dorren Norden. Sie schläft. Eis und Schnee umhüllen sie mit einem weißen Mantel. Sie träumt von einer Palme, die dort unten im fernen Orient traurig steht, allein und schweigend am brennend heißen Felsenhang.
