In the North where high winds blow.
He sleeps; and the whitest blanket
wraps him in ice and snow.
He dreams—dreams of a palm-tree
that far in an Orient land
Languishes, lonely and drooping,
Upon the burning sand.
"Ein Fichtenbaum steht einsam"
| A lonely pine is standing In the North where high winds blow. He sleeps; and the whitest blanket wraps him in ice and snow. He dreams—dreams of a palm-tree that far in an Orient land Languishes, lonely and drooping, Upon the burning sand. |
