You're like a quiet and lonely mistress,
always waiting in an obscure corner for your lover.
You know quite well
it's easy for him to lose his way home in a fool's paradise
like a bee loses his direction in a garden of pretty lasses.
Only after all the leaves have fallen all over the ground,
the world is covered with white snow,
and after all the pretty flowers are all gone,
will he think of your soothing serenity!
Ah! How gracious you are!
You give, patiently, green beauty to the world,
yet leave all the loneliness for yourself!
always waiting in an obscure corner for your lover.
