  • Text: Beneath the swaying pine-tree / That the fitful wind goes through. / I gaze on the widening landscape / That fades in far-off blue. / And like low music playing / Above in the organ-loft, / The wind in the pine-tree moving / Makes music strange and soft. / Soft is the voice, but solemn; / And with a dream-like power / It sways all thoughts and fancies, / And hallows the brief hour. / For the trees have all their voices / Of light or earnest tone; / The aspen - elfin laughter, / The oak - a Titan's moan. / But the pines have caught the message / Which the wind bears from the sea; / And its voice is the voice of ocean, / And its talk of Eternity. / F.W. Bourdillon.

  • Text: Je l'vintromezo, kiam frost' kaj ventoj batas / Sencese per siego: / Kaj la senviva tar; por sunolum' malsatas, / Aperas una flor'. Galanto! - gi Kompatas, / L'amiko de la nego. / Gis nun homsango, pro batal', pro maljusteco, / Kontrau al amolego, / La teron rugigadas; tial, per blankeco, / Gin benas la Galanto, floro da pureco, / Spegulo de la nego. / El la Korvrilo sur la ter', gi, senmakula, / La sola flora rego, / Levigas, Kaj ekbrilas en l'aer' nebula, / Sen flora laudo, sen honoro kortegula, / Venkinto de la nego. / Kaj gi, starante super tiu regkanapo, / Kvazau per kora prego, / Rigardas; Kaj humile al la naska drapo / Sin klinas, per la blanka riverenca Kapo; - / La ido de la nego. / C.B.
