Gern am kühlen Waldessaume
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gern am kühlen Waldessaume,
Weil' ich und gedenke dein;
Ueber mir im blüh'nden Baume
Singt sein Lied ein Vögelein.
Ströme, kleine Liederseele,
All' dein Sehnen in den Duft!
Weißt du doch, daß eine Kehle
Tief im Busch dir Antwort ruft;
Weißt, daß zwischen dichten Zweigen
Sie dich lockt zum Neste bald,
Während in dem Frühlingsreigen
Ungehört mein Lied verhallt.

Happily at the cool edge of the forest
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Happily at the cool edge of the forest
I linger and think of you;
Above me in the blossoming tree
A little bird sings its song.
Little song-soul, pour forth
All of your yearning into the scents!
For you know that another voice
Deep in the shrubbery calls back an answer to you.
You know that among dense branches
It shall soon entice you to your nest,
While in the roundelay of spring
My song dies away unheard.
