Wir wandelten, wir zwei zusammen, ich war so still und du so stille, ich gäbe viel, um zu erfahren, was du gedacht in jenem Fall. Was ich gedacht, unausgesprochen verbleibe das! Nur Eines sag' ich: So schön war alles, was ich dachte, so himmlisch heiter war es all'. In meinem Haupte die Gedanken, sie läuteten wie gold'ne Glöckchen: so wundersüß, so wunderlieblich ist in der Welt kein and'rer Hall.

We wandered together, the two of us, I was so quiet and you so still, I would give much to know What you were thinking at that moment. What I was thinking, let it remain unuttered! Only one thing will I say: So lovely was all that I thought - So heavenly and fine was it all. The thoughts in my head Rang like little golden bells: So marvellously sweet and lovely That in the world there is no other echo.
