A translation into Dutch: (BOOM)

Een boom in 't woud
die, waar hij blijft,
met loof en hout
een letter schrijft.

A tree in the forest
that, where it stays,
with foliage and wood
writes a letter.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ДЕРЕВО)

Дерево лесное,
В форме буквы стоя,
Летом зеленится,
В осень багрянится.

Forest tree,
standing in the shape of a letter,
greens in summer,
becomes vermeil in autumn.
