Bläulich dämmert am Hügel hinab zum See
Matten Schimmers im Schmelzen der weiche Schnee,
In den Nebeln gestaltlos wie bleiche Träume
Schwimmen vielästige Kronen erstorbener Bäume.
Aber durchs Dorf, durch alle schlummernden Gassen
Wandelt der Nachtwind, schlendert lau und gelassen,
Rastet am Zaun und lässt in den dunklen Gärten
Und in den Träumen der Jugend Frühling werden.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans le crépuscule bleu, descend du coteau vers le lac
Le reflet blafard de la douce neige fondante,
Dans les brumes sans forme, pareils à de blêmes rêves
Flottent les couronnes branchues d'arbres morts.
Mais dans le village, par toutes les rues endormies
Se promène le vent nocturne, il se faufile tiède et serein,
Il s'arrête aux barrières et fait arriver le printemps
Dans les jardins obscurs et dans les rêves de la jeunesse.
