Original text and translations

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)
