Staunend sahen wir das große Pferd.
Es durchbrach das Dach unserer Stube.
Der bewölkte Himmel zog sich schwach
entlang des gewaltigen Umrisses,
und rauschend flog die Mähne im Wind.

We were amazed to see the large horse
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
We were amazed to see the large horse.
It broke through the roof of our bedroom.
The billowy canopy dragged weakly
along its massive silhouette,
and its mane whipped in the wind.
