by Albert Sergel (1876 - 1946)

Regen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FIN
   Leise, leise fällt der Regen . 

   Heimlich singt es in den Gräsern, 
klingt es in den welken Blättern
wie ein Klirren feiner Gläser . .

   Schimmernd hängen helle Perlen
in den weissen Spinneweben,
bis sie silbern sich verspritzen. 

   Durch die Zweige flirrt es, sirrt es . .

   Kleine reine Bäche rinnen,
führen windverwehte Blätter
aus verblühten Blumenbeeten
mit sich auf die Pilgerreise
in den menschenleeren Wegen . .

   Weiches Rieseln in den Steinen . .

   Leise fällt der Regen, leise . .

   Klingt im Wind ein Mädchenweinen?

Confirmed with Sehnen und Suchen, Vierte Auflage, Rostock: C.J.E. Volckmann (Volckman & Wetter), 1905, page 163.
