Seliger Glaube
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich [mein]1 Lied in Tönen leis'
Hinsinge in die Nacht,
Mein Lied, das ich für Dich allein
Gesungen und erdacht:
Da winken mir die Sterne zu,
Da geht ein flüsternd Weh'n
Durch Baum und Strauch als hört' ich Dich
Dort in der Stille geh'n!
Ich lausche hin -- da ist's ein Hauch,
Der mir die Lippen schließt,
Als hättest Du mir plötzlich fort
Vom Mund Dein Lied geküßt.

When I my song in quiet strains
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
When I [my]1 song in quiet strains
Sing out into the night,
My song, that for you alone,
I sang and created,
Then the stars greet me,
Then a whispering zephyr passes
Through trees and bushes, as if I could hear you
Walking in the silence out there.
I listen--then it is as if a breath
Closes my lips
As if you had suddenly
Taken your song from my lips with a kiss.
