Am Waldessaume träumt die Föhre

Language: English

Our translations: FRE

Am Waldessaume träumt die Föhre,
Am Himmel weiße Wölkchen nur,
Es ist so still, daß ich sie höre,
Die tiefe Stille der Natur.

Rings Sonnenschein auf Wies' und Wegen,
Die Wipfel stumm, kein Lüftchen wach,
Und doch es klingt als ström' ein Regen
Leis tönend auf das Blätterdach.

À l'orée de la forêt

Language: French (Français) after the English

Le pin rêve à l'orée de la forêt,
Au ciel seuls de petits nuages,
Tout est si calme que je l'entends,
Le grand silence de la nature.

Autour, des rayons de soleil sur prairies et chemins ,
Les cimes muettes, pas un souffle d'air ne s'anime,
Et pourtant on entend comme une pluie couler
Avec une tonalité légère sur le toit de feuilles.
