Ich ruhe still im hohen grünen Gras Und sende lange meinen Blick nach oben, Von Grillen rings umschwirrt ohn Unterlaß, Von Himmelsbläue wundersam umwoben. [Und schönen weiße]1 Wolken ziehn dahin Durchs tiefe Blau, wie schöne stille Träume; Mir ist, als ob ich längst gestorben bin Und ziehe selig mit durch ew'ge Räume.
1 Brahms, Ives: "Die schönen weißen"

Riposo sereno nell'alta erba verde E a lungo resto a contemplare in alto, mi circonda incessante il cantare dei grilli, e il cielo tutto mi avvolge in una meraviglia azzurra. Corrono candide e belle le nuvole Nell'azzurro profondo, come bei sogni sereni; Mi sembra di essere morto da tempo E di vagare beato negli spazi eterni.
