Weihnachtsgefühl
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Naht die jubelvolle Zeit[,]
Kommt auch mir ein Sehnen;
Längst entflohner Seligkeit
Denk ich nach mit Tränen.
Und ich schaue, wie im Traum,
Ihren fernen Schimmer
Weben um den Weihnachtsbaum,
Kehrt sie selbst auch nimmer.
Confirmed with Wartburgstimmen, Zweiter Jahrgang, 2, 1904, page 352.

Esperit de Nadal
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quan s’acosta el temps de plena joia,
m’arriba també un anhel;
en una felicitat que fa molt temps va fugir
hi penso ara amb llàgrimes.
I esguardo, com en somnis,
el seu besllum llunyà bellugar-se
a l’entorn de l’arbre de Nadal,
tot i que ella no tornarà mai més.
