Talk:Wanderer's Nightsong

Latest comment: 8 years ago by Kittyloves in topic Punctuation

There should not be a break between the last couplet and the rest of the poem- Goethe didn't write it that way, so it shouldn't appear that way on wikipedia.

Punctuation edit

Shouldn't the punctuation of the translation of Über allen Gipfeln reflect the punctuation of the original poem? It would read:

Above all summits
it is calm.
In all the tree-tops
you feel
scarcely a breath;
The birds in the forest are silent.
Just wait, soon
you will rest as well.
