Я долго стоял неподвижно
Language: Russian (Русский)
Я долго стоял неподвижно, В далёкие звёзды вглядясь, — Меж теми звездами и мною Какая-то связь родилась. Я думал… не помню, что думал; Я слушал таинственный хор, И звёзды тихонько дрожали, И звёзды люблю я с тех пор…

Die Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Ich starrte und stand unbeweglich, den Blick zu den Sternen gewandt, und da zwischen mir und den Sternen sich wob ein vertrauliches Band. Ich dachte... weiss nicht was ich dachte... Fern klang's wie ein seliger Chor, leis bebten die goldenen Sterne, nun lieb' ich sie mehr als zu vor!
