Translations


Come Raggio di Sol

Come raggio di sol
mite e sereno,
Sovre placidi flutti si riposa,
Mentre del mare nel profondo seno
Sta la tempesta ascosa:

Così riso talor gaio e pacato
Di contento, di gioia un labbro infiora,
Mentre nel suo segreto il cor piagato
S’angoscia e si martora.


Wie Melodien zieht es Mir
Wie Melodien zieht es
Mir leise durch den Sinn,
Wie Frühlingsblumen blüht es,
Und schwebt wie Duft dahin.

Doch kommt das Wort und faßt es
Und führt es vor das Aug’,
Wie Nebelgrau erblaßt es
Und schwindet wie ein Hauch.

Und dennoch ruht im Reime
Verborgen wohl ein Duft,
Den mild aus stillem Keime Ein feuchtes Auge ruft.


Like a sunbeam,
mild and serene,
upon placid waves seeks repose,
whilst within the sea’s deep clutches
a tempest lies hidden:

So a blithe and calm smile sometimes lets one’s lips exude contentment,
midst the hidden sufferings
of a wounded heart.


It Moves like a Melody
It moves like a melody,
Gently through my mind;
It blossoms like spring flowers
And wafts away like fragrance.




But when it is captured in words,
And placed before my eyes,
It turns pale like a gray mist
And disappears like a breath.




And yet, remaining in my rhymes
There hides still a fragrance,
Which mildly from the quiet bud
My moist eyes call forth.
