L'ombre des arbres dans la rivière...
Language: French (Français)
L'ombre des arbres dans la rivière embrumée Meurt comme de la fumée, Tandis qu'en l'air, parmi les ramures réelles, Se plaignent les tourterelles. Combien, ô voyageur, ce paysage blême Te mira blême toi-même, Et que tristes pleuraient dans les hautes feuillées, - Tes espérances noyées.

Die schatten der bäume in umnebelten...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Die schatten der bäume in umnebelten wogen Wie rauch verzogen! Und oben in lüften in dem wirklichen laube Klagt eine taube. Wie blicken · wandrer · auf dich diese blassen wasser -- Dich selber noch blasser! Wie traurig weint es in dem hohen laube: Dein ertränkter glaube!
