Kornblumen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE
Kornblumen nenn ich die Gestalten,
die milden mit den blauen Augen,
die, anspruchslos in stillem Walten,
den Tau des Friedens, den sie saugen
aus ihren eigenen klaren Seelen,
mitteilen allem, dem sie nahen,
bewußtlos der Gefühlsjuwelen,
die sie von Himmelshand empfahn.
Dir wird so wohl in ihrer Nähe,
als gingst du durch ein Saatgefilde,
durch das der Hauch des Abends wehe,
voll frommen Friedens und voll Milde.

Bleuets
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
J' appelle bleuets les créatures
douces aux yeux bleus,
qui, peu exigeantes, dans leur attitude silencieuse,
transmettent la rosée de paix qu'elles aspirent
de leurs propres âmes claires
à tout ce dont elles s'approchent;
inconscientes des joyaux de sentiment
qu'elles ont recus de la main du ciel.
Tu te sens tellement bien dans leur présence,
comme si tu te promenais dans un champ de semailles
par lequel vole le souffle du soir
plein de paix pieux et plein de douceur.
