Versunken bin ich [ganz]1 darinnen, In dieser stillen Winterwelt, Bis in mein Schaffen und mein Sinnen Mit einmal dein Gedenken fällt! Ich horche auf! -- Was ist erklungen? Ich fühl's, wie meine Wangen glüh'n; Mir träumt: ein Vogel hätt' gesungen Und alle Welt wär' wieder grün.

I am [utterly]1 immersed In this silent winter world, Until into my labour and my thoughts Suddenly falls the memory of you! I harken! -- What has sounded? I feel how my cheeks glow; I dream: a bird has sung And the world is green again.
