Die dunklen Wolken hingen Herab so bang und schwer, Wir beide traurig gingen Im Garten hin und her. So heiß und stumm, so trübe Und sternlos war die Nacht, So ganz, wie unsre Liebe, Zu Tränen nur gemacht. Und als ich mußte scheiden Und gute Nacht dir bot, Wünscht' ich bekümmert beiden Im Herzen uns den Tod.

The dark clouds were hanging down So forebodingly and heavily. We two walked sadly to and fro In the garden. So hot and silent, so dreary And starless was the night -- Just like our love, Created only for tears. And when I had to depart And wished you good night, In my sorrowing heart I sadly wished death for us both.
