Meine Selinde! denn mit Engelstimme Singt die Liebe mir zu: sie wird die Deine! [Wird]1 die Meine! Himmel und Erde schwinden! Meine Selinde! Thränen der Sehnsucht, die auf blassen Wangen Bebten, fallen herab als Freudenthränen! Denn mir tönt die himmlische Stimme: deine Wird sie! die Deine!

My Selinda! Love sings to me on angel’s voices: “She will be yours!” You will be mine! Heaven and earth disappear! My Selinda! Tears of longing that quivered on pale cheeks, Fall as tears of joy! Since to me the heavenly voice resounds: “She will be yours, yours!”
