A single fir-tree, lonely, <br />On a northern mountain height, <br />Sleeps in a white blanket, <br />Draped in snow and ice. <br />His dreams are of a palm-tree, <br />Who, far in eastern lands, <br />Weeps, all alone and silent, <br />Among the burning sands.<br /><br />Heinrich Heine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ein-fichtenbaum/
