longing for green

Ach, aus dieses Tales Gründen,
Die der kalte Nebel drückt,
Könnt' ich doch den Ausgang finden,
Ach, wie fühlt' ich mich beglückt!
Dort erblick' ich schöne Hügel,
Ewig jung und ewig grün!
Hätt' ich Schwingen hätt ich Flügel,
Nach den Hügeln zög' ich hin.

Friedrich von Schiller

Translation:

Ah, from this valley's grounds
that cold mists are pressing,
if I could only find a way out,
ah, how lucky I would feel!
Over there I glimpse pretty hills,
ever young and ever green!
If I had flight, if I had wings,
I would float over to those hills.

    Schönes Photo, schöne Verse... Bei dem Schnee, der hier noch liegt, ist das noch eine Zukunftsmusik. Die Gedichtzeilen laden ein, das ganze Gedicht zu entdecken.... Im fünften Vers fehlt ein e... schöne Hügel. Und die Klänge 'Flügel/Hügeln' erinnern an ein anderes berühmtes deutsches Gedicht 'Hier lieg ich auf dem Frühlingshügel' des Schwaben Eduard Mörike. Einen schönen Sonntag YK
