Friede auf dem Athosberg

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Andachten! Hütten!
Beten und bauen!
In Traumesauen
den Tag verschütten,
der dich zerrütten,
zerreißen will!
Ins Blaue schauen,
den Sternen trauen!
Andachten! Hütten!
Das ist so still!

Peace upon Mount Athos

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Devotions! Huts!
Praying and building!
In meadows of dreams
To inter the day
That wants to destroy you,
To tear you to pieces!
To gaze into the blue,
To trust in the stars!
Devotions! Huts!
That is so quiet!
