Der Blumenkranz
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG LIT
An Celia's Baum in stiller Nacht
Hängt Blumen, treuer Liebe Pfand!
Vielleicht, wenn neu der Morgen lacht,
Flicht euch zum Kranz der Liebsten Hand.
Und fällt auf ihres Busens Pracht
Ein Tröpfchen Tau aus eurem Schoß,
Dann sagt, es sei kein Tau der Nacht,
Nur Tränen, die ihr Freund vergoß.

The garland
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
By Celia's arbour in the still of night,
hang the flowers, the pledge of true love!
Perhaps when the morning laughs again
my darling's hand will weave them into a garland.
And if upon the splendour of her bosom there falls
a drop of dew from your lap,
then say that it is not the dew of the night
but only tears that her friend forgot there.
