Schläfst du noch mein Trauter?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Mittelhochdeutsch
"Schläfst du noch mein [Trauter]1? Man weckt so bald und leider? Ein schönes Vöglein tat wohl das, das auf der Zweig der Linde niedersass." Ich lag so sanft im Schlafe, nun rufst du, Kind: Erwache! Lieb kan ja ohne Leid nich sein. Was du befiehlst, das tu ich, Liebste mein. Da fing sie an zu weinen: "Du gehst, lässt mich alleine. Wann kommst du wieder her zu mir? Ach, meine Freude nummst du ja mit dir!"

Under the linden‑tree
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Sleepest thou, my darling? No longer can we tarry; One litte birdling sang its lay And with its gentle song awoke the day. So sweet hath been my slumber, Then saidst thou: "Child, 'tis daytime"! Love cannot without sorrow be, Now must I wander far from home and thee. She wept and spoke in sadness: "Thou goest and leavest me lonely. Wilt thou again return to me? All bliss and rapture fly away with thee!"
From the Van der Stucken score.
