Weißt du noch, wie ich am Felsen Bei den Veilchen dich belauschte? Weißt du noch den Fliederstrauch, Wo der Strom vorüber rauschte? Weißt du noch den Bergespfad, Wo ich um den Strauß dich bat, Weißt du noch? Ach, es war ein süßes Bild, Als du da errötend standest Und zur Erde all die Blumen Fielen, die zum Strauß du wandest! Deine liebe kleine Hand Spielte mit dem blauen Band, Weißt du noch? Und es sahen Fels und Strom Dein Erröten und dein Beben, Sahen auch den ersten Kuß, Halb genommen, halb gegeben! Und des Himmels goldner Strahl Ueberflog Gebirg und Thal; Weißt du noch?

Do you still remember, how at the rock By the violets I eavesdropped on you? Do you still remember the lilac bush Where the river rushed past? Do you still remember the mountain path Where I asked you for your bouquet, Do you still remember? Ah, it was a sweet image When you stood there blushing And all the flowers fell to earth, The flowers that you were twining into a bouquet! Your dear little hand Played with the blue ribbon, Do you still remember? And the rocks and river saw Your blushing and your trembling, Saw, too, the first kiss, Half taken, half given! And the golden beam from heaven Skimmed over mountain and valley; Do you still remember?
