Fern und ferner schallt der Reigen.
Wohl mir, um mich her ist Schweigen
Auf der Flur.
Zu dem vollen Herzen nur
Will nicht Ruh' sich neigen.
Horch! die Nacht schwebt durch die Räume,
Ihr Gewand durchrauscht die Bäume
Lispelnd leis'.
Ach! so schweifen liebeheiß
Meine Wünsch' und Träume.

The sounds of the dance fade farther and farther away. It is well for me that around me there is silence on the meadow. Only to my full heart peace does not want to come. Listen! Night is wafting through the spaces. [Night's] garments rustle through the trees, whispering softly. Ah, that is exactly how my wishes and dreams, Burning with love, roam about.
