In diesen bangen Tagen Was kann man Bess'res tun, Als, jeder Sorg' entschlagen, An treuem Herzen ruhn? Ja, komm du Herz voll Liebe, Du Kind, o süßer Klang! Du Mai im Winter trübe, Du Tag in Nächten bang! Wie Blumen ohne Schmerzen Beim Schein der Sonne sind, Wie an dem Mutterherzen In Wonne ruht ein Kind; Wie Vogel ohne Sorgen Bei Kraut und Blume tut, Wie tief im Wald verborgen Ein Reh beim Borne ruht; So laß mich bei dir bleiben, Daß von der Menschen Qual, Von all dem bangen Treiben Dies Herz ausschläft einmal.

In these anxious days, What better thing could one do Than, divested of all cares, To rest upon a loyal heart? Yes, come [to me], you heart filled with love, You child, oh sweet sound! You [who are like] May in the dismal Winter, You [who are like] day in anxious nights! As flowers are without pain In the shining of the sun, As on a mother's heart, A child rests in pleasure; As a bird without worries Cavorts around greenery and flowers; As, hidden in the forest, The deer rests by a spring; So let me stay with you, That this heart may for once Be free of mankind's torment And of all this fearsome toil.
