Stille, träumende Frühlingsnacht ... Die Sterne am Himmel blinzelten mild, Breit stand der Mond wie ein silberner Schild, In den Zweigen rauschte es sacht. Arm in Arm und wie in Träumen Unter duftenden Blütenbäumen Gingen wir durch die Frühlingsnacht. Der Flieder duftet berauschend weich; Ich küsse den Mund dir liebeheiß, Dicht überhäupten uns blau und weiß Schimmern die Blüten reich. Blüten brachst du uns zum Strauße, Langsam gingen wir nach Hause, Der Flieder duftete liebeweich ...

Quiet, dreaming springtime night . . . The stars in the sky sparkled gently, The moon was as broad as a silver shield, In the branches there was a soft rustling. Arm in arm and as in dreams, Under the scented blossom trees We walked through the springtime night. The scent of the lilac is intoxicatingly soft; In fervent love I kiss your lips, Above us, blue and white, the blossoms Form a canopy and shimmer opulently. You picked blossoms for a bouquet for us, We walked home slowly, The lilac sent forth love-soft scents . . .
Subtitle: "(A memento for M.M.)"
