Empfindsamkeit [English translation]

Do you see the glow of the fields

When dew shines through young spires

Drunk with the red of the sun

In the morning light

Do you hear the breath of the woods

Blowing through the evening

And telling of a far away storm

That will soon break out

Do you feel the rough bark

On the trunk of an old ash tree

Rugged by the changes of the world

The wood damp from the mist

Do you smell the scent of the earth

So wet from the rain and heavy

It rises from the black ground

Still bare and void of seeds

Do you taste the salt of the sea

In the changing of the tides

A longing for what lies in the distance

For unknown lands

Can you sense in your dream

the might of hidden senses

That accompany your spirit

Through the deep night on Earth
