Spuren im Schnee
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Japanese (日本語) 
Am Berg von Myosino, in kahler Höh',
entdeckt' ich seine Spuren im Flimmerschnee.
Beim Sternlicht überschritt er den Felsengrat.
Und in Gedanken ging ich mit ihm den Pfad.

Marks in the snow
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
On tow'ring Myosino, where naught can grow,
I traced his onward footsteps amid the snow.
While stars shone dim he fell o'er the mountainside.
And in my thoughts it seemed I with him there died.

From a Weingartner score.
