 EIN FICHTENBAUM STEHT EINSAM

From the German of Heinrich Heine

There stands a lonely Pine-tree

On a bare northern height.

’Mid ice and snow he slumbers,

Wrapped in his mantle white.

He dreams about a Palm-tree

In far-off Eastern lands,

That droops, alone and silent,

Above her burning sands.

 ZWEI KAMMERN HAT DAS HERZ

From the German of P. Neumann

μάλα γέ τοι τὸ μεγάλας ὑγεΐας

μάλα γέ τοι τὸ μεγάλας ὑγεΐας

ἀκόρεστον τέρμα, νόσος γὰρ ἀεὶ

ἀκόρεστον τέρμα, νόσος γὰρ ἀεὶ
