All mein Wirken, all mein Leben
Language: German (Deutsch)
All mein Wirken, all mein Leben,
Strebt nach dir Verehrte hin!
Alle meine Sinne weben
Mir dein Bild o Zauberinn!
Du entflammest meinen Busen
Zu der Leyer Harmonie,
Du begeisterst mehr als Musen
Und entzückest mehr als sie. - -
Ach dein blaues Auge strahlet
Durch den Sturm der Seele mild,
Und dein süßes Lächeln mahlet
Rosig mir der Zukunft Bild.
Herrlich schmückt des Himmels Gränzen
Zwar [Aurorens]1 Purpurlicht,
Aber lieblicheres Glänzen
Uiberdeckt dein Angesicht,
Wenn mit wonnetrunknen Blicken
Ach! und unaussprechlich schön,
Meine Augen voll Entzücken
Purpurn dich erröthen sehn.

When I saw her blush
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
All my efforts, all my life
strives after you, admired one!
All my senses weave
for me your image, o magic one!
You inflame my bosom
to the harmonies of the lyre,
you inspire more than the muses
and delight me more than they!
Ah, your blue eye radiates mildly
through the storm of my soul,
and your sweet smile paints
a rosy future image for me.
Magnificently adorned are the limits of heaven
with Aurora's purple light,
but a lovelier shine
covers your face,
when with blissful, intoxicated glances
ah, and unspeakably fair,
my eyes, full of delight,
see you blush with a purple tinge.
