Stille wird's im Walde; die lieben...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Stille wird's im Walde; die lieben kleinen
Sänger prüfen schaukelnd den Ast, der durch die
Nacht dem neuen Fluge sie trägt, den neuen
  Liedern entgegen.

Bald versinkt die Sonne; des Waldes Riesen
Heben höher sich in die Lüfte, um noch
Mit des Abends flüchtigen Rosen sich ihr
  Haupt zu bekränzen.

Schon verstummt die Matte; den satten Rindern
Selten nur enthallt das Geglock am Halse,
Und es pflückt der wählende Zahn nur lässig
  Dunklere Gräser.

Und dort blickt der schuldlos Hirt der Sonne
Sinnend nach; dem Sinnenden jetzt entfallen
Flöt und Stab, es falten die Hände sich zum
  Stillen Gebete.

El bosc esdevé silenciós; els estimats...
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
El bosc esdevé silenciós; els estimats petits 
cantors sondegen tot gronxant-se la branca que a través 
de la nit els portarà a l’encontre de noves 
cançons.

Aviat s’amagarà el sol; els gegants del bosc
s’enlairen més amunt en l’aire per 
poder-se coronar encara amb les fugaces 
roses del capvespre.

Ja emmudeix la prada; els vedells saciats
amb prou feines fan sonar les esquelles 
que duen al coll, i indolents, trien només 
l’herba més fosca.

I allà, l’innocent pastor esguarda el sol
pensarós; mentre deixa caure 
la flauta i el bastó i ajunta les mans per a 
una silent pregària.
