Wenn die Felder sich verdunkeln, fühl' ich wird mein Auge heller; schon versucht ein Stern zu funkeln, und die Grillen wispern schneller. Jeder Laut wird bilderreicher, das Gewohnte sonderbarer, hinterm Wald der Himmel bleicher, jeder Wipfel hebt sich klarer; Und du merkst es nicht im Schreiten wie das Licht verhundertfältigt sich entringt den Dunkelheiten. Plötzlich stehst du überwältigt.

When the fields darken, I feel that my eyes grow brighter; Already a star is attempting to sparkle, And the crickets whisper more quickly. Every sound becomes more picturesque, The everyday things more unusual, Behind the forest the sky becomes paler, Every treetop lifts itself more clearly; And in your striding you do not notice How the light, magnified a hundred times, Struggles forth from the darknesses. Suddenly you stand there, overwhelmed.
