Im Park

Our translations: ENG
Sieh, der Kastanie kindliches Laub hängt noch wie der feuchte
Flügel des Papillons, wenn er die Hülle verließ;
Aber in laulicher Nacht der kürzeste Regen entfaltet
Leise die Fächer und deckt schnelle den luftigen Gang.
- Du magst eilen, o himmlischer Frühling, oder verweilen,
Immer dem trunkenen Sinn fliehst du, ein Wunder, vorbei.
