Habe gestern Nachts im Dunkeln
Language: German (Deutsch)
Habe gestern Nachts im Dunkeln
In die Augen dir geschaut,
Sah zwei Sterne drinnen funkeln,
Denen ich mein Glück vertraut!
Um mich her ein leises Wehen,
Als ob es im Lenze früht,
Und ich mußt' mir still gestehen,
Daß mir eine Rose blüht!
Und ich habe dann geträumet
Wunderlieblich dies und das,
Wie der Liebe Becher schäumet
Wie so klinget Glas an Glas!
Und ich fühlte, daß es lenzet
Wieder neu mir im Gemüth,
Sah beim Wein, der mir kredenzet,
Daß mir eine Rose blüht!
Wie beim Sang der Frühlingschöre
Bin ich heitern Sinns erwacht,
Hab', ob ich mich wohl bethöre,
Froh des süßen Traums gedacht;
Und ich hab' es tief empfunden,
Wie das Herz so liebend glüht,
Denkend in den Morgenstunden,
Daß mir eine Rose blüht!
Und es treibt in meinem Innern
Etwas mir die Brust so weit,
Welch' ein liebliches Erinnern
Bringt mir diese Seligkeit!
Ueber Nacht ist mir's gekommen,
Daß es Lieder in mir sprüht,
Denn ich hab' es still vernommen,
Daß mir eine Rose blüht!

In the morning
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Last night in the dark
I gazed into your eyes,
I saw two stars sparkling therein,
To which I entrusted my happiness!
About me there was a quiet wafting,
As if it were a morning in spring,
And quietly I had to admit to myself
That a rose is blooming for me!
And then I dreamed
Wondrously beautifully about this and that,
How the goblet of love foams,
How glass clinks against glass!
And I felt that springtime was coming
Once again newly in my spirit,
While I drank the wine that had been proffered me, I saw
That a rose is blooming for me!
As to the singing of spring choruses
I awoke with a joyful spirit;
Though I might well be deluding myself,
I happily thought of the sweet dream;
And I felt it deep within me,
How my heart was glowing so lovingly,
Thinking in the morning hours
That a rose is blooming for me!
And something within me is
Making my heart expand,
What a lovely remembering
This bliss brings me!
Overnight I have come to realize
That poems are bubbling up within me,
For I have softly heard the tidings
That a rose is blooming for me!
