Am See /At the Lake

Am See tanzt das Schilf
Spähend ein Fischreiher im Baum
Absuchend das Wasser

Nebel hält den See gefangen
Ein Fischer birgt seinen Fang

-------------------------------------

The reeds are dancing
A heron on watch from a tree
Searching the lake's brink

Fog captivates the quiet lake
A fisherman secures his catch
