Baum am Strom

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): ITA

In eilende Flut die klammernden Wurzeln gesenkt,
schwer steht ein Baum an eines langherkommenden Stromes Rand.
Tief ist sein Wuchs mit wandernder Kraft getränkt,
im Rauschen seiner Krone rauscht das weite Land.

L'albero sulla corrente

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Presso l'acqua veloce con radici profonde,
si avvinghia con fatica un albero al bordo dell'antico fiume.
Grande è la sua statura nutrita dalla forza delle onde,
Mormora la terra vasta nel sussurrare delle sue chiome.
