Schimmernde Kronen will ich dir flechten In deiner Locken rollenden Kranz, Wie in lauschenden Sommernächten Goldne, funkelnde Sterne sich flechten In des Himmels dunkelnden Glanz. Laß das Bangen und beuge dich nieder! Wenn ich auch küssend die Seele dir nehm', Meine Seele geb' ich dir wieder, Schling' um dein Haupt dir den Klang meiner Lieder, Zeig mir ein schöneres Stirndiadem! Von den sommerlich blühenden Hängen Rauschen die Quellen - so gieb dich hin! Neige dich zu mir, lausche den Sängen, Meiner Lieder lockenden Klängen, Du meiner Nächte Königin.

Shimmering crowns I shall weave you Into the rolling circlet of your curls, As in cozy summer nights Golden, sparkling stars weave themselves Into the darkening radiance of the sky. Leave off your trembling and bow down! Even though I take your soul in kissing, I give you my soul in return, Wrap the sounds of my songs round your head, [I challenge you to] show me a more beautiful tiara for your brow! From the slopes with their summery blooming The water-springs murmur - let yourself go thus! Incline yourself to me, listen to the chants, To the enticing sounds of my songs, You, the queen of my nights.
