Am Brunnen vor dem Thore Da steht ein Lindenbaum: Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten So manchen süßen Traum. Ich schnitt in seine Rinde So manches liebe Wort; Es zog in Freud' und Leide Zu ihm mich immer fort. Ich mußt' auch heute wandern Vorbei in tiefer Nacht, Da hab' ich noch im [Dunkel]1 Die Augen zugemacht. Und seine Zweige rauschten, Als riefen sie mir zu: Komm her zu mir, Geselle, Hier findst du deine Ruh'! Die kalten Winde bliesen Mir grad' in's Angesicht, Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe, Ich wendete mich nicht. Nun bin ich manche Stunde Entfernt von jenem Ort, Und immer hör' ich's rauschen: Du fändest Ruhe dort!

菩提樹
Language: Chinese (中文) after the German (Deutsch)
門前的水井邊 有一棵菩提樹； 在它的樹蔭下 我曾有甜夢無數。 在它的樹幹上 我刻下多少摯愛的言詞； 在歡樂和痛苦時 我常走近這樹。 今夜萬籟俱寂 我必須走過此處， 雖在黑暗中 我仍緊閉雙目 而它的枝葉蓛蓛 彷彿向我呼喚： 「來我這裏，朋友 這裏你可以找到安息！」 寒冷的風 迎面撲來 帽子從頭上飛走 我也不轉身回顧 如今我遠離那地方 已有許多時辰 而我仍聽見蓛蓛聲響： 「在那兒你可以找到安息！」
