Alles schläft! Nur silbern schallet Marianens Stimme noch! Gott! von welcher Regung wallet Mein gepreßter Busen hoch! Zwischen Wonn' und bangem Schmerz Schwimmt mein liebekrankes Herz. Schwind, o Erde! Laß mich fliegen Zu des Hochgelobten Thron; Mich mit ihr im Staube liegen, Seufzen mit in ihren Ton: Gott, du hörst es, was sie fleht; Acht' auch mit auf mein Gebet! Daß ich lang um sie mich quäle, Ist der Holden unbewust; Send', o Gott, der frommen Seele, Lieb' und Mitleid in die Brust! Wär' ihr nur mein Leid bekannt, Wär' auch meine Qual verbannt. -- Gott! ich seh den Himmel offen! Freud und Leben winken mir! Daß mein Herz darf wieder hoffen, Mariane, dank ich Dir. Sing, und zaubr', o Sängerin, Ganz ins Paradies mich hin!

Everything is sleeping! Only Mariane's voice Still rings out silverily! God! what emotion makes My oppressed bosom swell! My love-sick heart is floating Between rapture and anxious pain. Vanish, oh Earth! Let me fly To the throne of the highly-praised One; To lay myself in the dust with her, To sigh along with her tone: God, Thou hearest that for which she pleads; Take note as well of my prayer! That I have long been in agonies because of her Is unknown to the lovely one; Send, oh God, love and sympathy Into the breast of that pious soul, If my suffering were only known to her, My agonies would be banished as well. -- God! I see the Heavens opened! Joy and life beckon to me! That my heart may again hope Is thanks to you, Mariane. Sing, oh singer, and waft me Magically into Paradise completely!
