Ein Wort von deinem Munde, Das mir herüber klang, Tönt mir wie eine Kunde Von goldnem Märchensang. Durch meine Seele rauschen Die goldnen Klänge all, Und alle Tiefen lauschen Dem süßen Wiederhall. Ein Blick von deinem Auge, Mein ganzer Himmel du! Bringt mit Versöhnungshauche Mein ganzes Herz zur Ruh. So schicken seelge Mächte Vom blauen Himmelsthor Durch warme Sommernächte Ein leuchtend Meteor.
Confirmed with Otto Roquette, Liederbuch, Stuttgart und Tübingen: J.G. Cotta’scher Verlag, 1852, page 67

One word from your lips That rang out from yonder, Sounds to me like tidings Of golden fairy-tale song. Through my soul rush All the golden tones, And all the depths harken To the sweet echo. One glance from your eyes, You my entire heaven, With a reconciling breeze brings Peace to my whole heart. Thus blessed powers send forth From the blue gate of Heaven Through the warm summer nights A shining meteor.
