minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up29·edit-210 hours agoThat’s the last verse of Goethe’s Erlkönig. There’s a translation here: https://dererlkonig.wordpress.com/translations/ (actually several translations because translating poetry is hard)
minus-squaresolrize@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 hours agoThere is also a cool 4.5 minute animated movie using Schubert’s musical setting of the poem.
