Sonnenregen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Ich gehe fremd durch die Menge hin,
Den irdischen Lauten entrückt,
Ich trage heimlich ein weißes Kleid,
Mit bräutlichen Zweigen geschmückt.
Es ist ein Singen und Blühn in mir,
Als trüg' ich den Lenz in der Brust --
Und liegt doch zitternd ein blasser Flor
Von Thränen über der Lust.
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 5.

Pluie de soleil
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Je vais, étrangère parmi la foule,
Absente des bruits terrestres,
Je porte secrètement une robe blanche,
Ornée d'une parure de mariage.
Il y a en moi des chants et des fleurs,
Comme si je portais le printemps en mon sein
Et pourtant, blême et frémissant, un tapis de fleurs
De larmes recouvre le plaisir.
