Schweigt der Menschen laute Lust
Language: German (Deutsch)
Schweigt der Menschen laute Lust: Rauscht die Erde wie in Träumen Wunderbar mit allen Bäumen, Was dem Herzen kaum bewusst, Alte Zeiten, linde Trauer, Und es schweifen leise Schauer Wetterleuchtend durch die Brust.

Le soir
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le bruyant plaisir des hommes se tait : La terre, comme en rêve, bruit Merveilleusement de tous ses arbres, Ce qu'à peine le cœur perçoit, Temps passés, douce tristesse, Et de légers frissons parcourent La poitrine comme un éclair de chaleur.
