English text
A pine tree, lone in the Nor’land
Stands bleak to all winds that blow;
He slumbers; with cold white blanket
Wrapt round by the ice and snow.
He dreams about a palm tree,
Afar in an Eastern land;
Lonely and silent mourns she
On cliffs that burn o’er the sand.
Ein Fichtenbaum steht einsam
transl. John Todhunter (1839–1916)
