Das ist doch schön [eingericht']1, Daß Baum und Mondenlicht Nicht dann und wann Ausplaudern kann! Schätzelein, schau einmal Dort in das tiefe Thal, Gestern, ja, ja, Waren wir da! Meinst du, die Sommernacht, Habe nicht auch gewacht? Das ganze Thal Lauschte zumal. Dich hat der Bach gesehn, Dich sah das Mondlicht gehn, Weit in [die]2 Rund Ward es schon kund. Und an des Baches Saum, Da steht ein Lindenbaum, Der aber -- der, Der sah noch mehr! Das ist doch schön eingericht', Daß Baum und Mondenlicht Nicht dann und wann Ausplaudern kann!

It has indeed been beautifully arranged That tree and moonlight Cannot now and then Divulge what they know! Darling, look Yonder into the deep valley, Yesterday, yes, yes, We were there! Do you believe that the summer night Was not watching as well? The whole valley Was eavesdropping. The brook saw you, The moonlight saw you walking, Everywhere around It had already been made known. And at the bank of the brook There stands a linden tree, The tree now -- the tree Saw even more! It has indeed been beautifully arranged That tree and moonlight Cannot now and then Divulge what they know!
