Our translations: ENG

Παρά την σκιήν, Βάθυλλε,
κάθισον· καλόν το δένδρον,
απαλάς σείει δε χαίτας
μαλακωτάτω κλαδίσκω.

Παρά δ' αυτώ ερεθίζει
πηγή ρέουσα Πειθούς.
Τις αν ουν ορών παρέλθοι
καταγώγιον τοιούτο;

Ruheplatz

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Greek (Ελληνικά)

Hier im Schatten, o Bathyllos,
Setze dich! Der schöne Baum lässt
Ringsum seine zarten Haare
Bis zum jüngsten Zweige beben.

Neben ihm mit sanftem Murmeln
Rinnt der Quell und lockt so lieblich.
Wer kann solches Ruheplätzchen
Sehen und vorüber gehn?
