Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff Poems

It was as though the sky
had silently kissed the earth,
...

Es war, als hätt' der Himmel
Die Erde still geküsst
Dass sie im Blütenschimmer
...

What a deep and nice silence
How alone I'm in this world
The woods ease their violence
...

When God's favour for someone
To far lands gives him His run
Willing to show his miracles' lots
...

Like blue breeze is mildly flowing
Springtime, springtime carrying in
Woodsbound a horn sound's blowing
...

In a cool meadow hollow
Where a mill wheel slowly spins
My girl-friend made me sorrow
...

Darkness wants to spread its wings
Around shaky trees make us fear
Heavy clouds as nightmares coming here.
What do they mean, these awful things?
...
