Wie geheimes Lispeln

Wie geheimes Lispeln 
  Rieselt's durch die Nacht,
All die Blüten haben 
  Vor sich hingelacht,
Flüstern sich's einander zu
  Im [stillen Tal]¹:
„Eine Heckenrose küßte
  [Der]² Mondenstrahl.”

Com un secret xiuxiuejar

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Com un secret xiuxiuejar
   s’escampa per la nit,
totes les flors
   se n’han rigut,
s’ho xiuxiuegen una a l’altra
   a la vall profunda i silenciosa:
“Una rosa silvestre ha besat
   amb dolcesa el raig de lluna.”
