Alles liegt in frommen Träumen, Jeder Berg und jedes Thal; Wunderbar rauscht's in den Bäumen Bei dem ersten Mondenstrahl. Erd' und Himmel leise sprechen Wie in Heimweh tief bewußt, Und hervor die Thränen brechen Mir aus heimwehkranker Brust. Heilig Heimweh du, nach Eden, Ohne Sünde, ohne Weh, Wo die Blumen innig beten, Wo beim Wolfe [ruht]1 das Reh. Neuer Himmel, neue Erde, Unbefleckt und unentweiht; -- O, so sprich das zweite: "Werde!" Starker Herr der Ewigkeit.

Everything is resting in pious dreaming, Every mountain and every valley; At the first moonbeam there is A wondrous soughing in the trees. Earth and Heaven speak quietly As if deeply aware in homesickness, And tears break forth From my homesick bosom. Ye holy homesickness for Eden, Without sin, without pain, Where the flowers pray fervently, Where the deer [rests]1 beside the wolf. New Heaven, new earth, Unsullied and undefiled; -- O, therefore speak the second: "Be!" Mighty Lord of eternity.
