by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Wir stehen an der hecken gradem wall
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ITA
Wir stehen an der hecken gradem wall
In reihen kommen kinder mit der nonne.
Sie singen lieder von der himmelswonne
In dieser erde sichrem klarem hall.

Die wir uns in der abendneige sonnten
Uns schreckten deine worte und du meinst:
Wir waren glücklich bloss solang wir einst
Nicht diese hecken überschauen konnten.
