Am Waldrand / At Forest's Fringe

Als ich Krokusse pflückte 
im 1. Jahr,
waren meine Gedanken so sonderbar.
Ich schaute zum Himmel ohne Scheu
und suchte nach Äpfeln im Wiesenheu.
Spazierte dann durch den
schon dämmrigen Wald
und plötzlich kam Wind auf,
es wurde mir kalt.
Ein Reh schaute von ferne zu mir,
ein wirklich schönes so edles Tier.
Dann ging ich nach Hause
mit schnellem Schritt,
fand am Wegrand auch noch Pilze
und nahm sie mit.

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

When I picked crocuses
in 2001,
my thoughts were strange,
some memories gone.
I looked to the sky
without being shy
and looked for apples and hay.
I crossed the forest,
the air was still warm,
but sudden cold winds
brought me shiver and 
turned into storm.
A deer looked at me 
from its shelter behind.
I did not disturb it
and returned back home.
found even some mushrooms 
of different kind.
