Stille ringsum! Es athmen kaum Die Blättchen an den Bäumen; Auch schweigen alle Vöglein nun, Denn sie schlummern und träumen. Droben am Himmel Stern an Stern In grenzenlosen Weiten; Im Busen ach so eng, so bang: Drin Schmerzgefühle streiten. Blüte! Am Kelche dir wonniglich Des Thaues Perlen hangen! Ihr Tropfen, ihr strahlt euch mir In's Aug' und auf die Wangen.

Quiet all around! The little leaves On the trees are scarcely breathing; The birdlets too fall silent now, For they slumber and dream. On the heavens above, star by star In the limitless expanses; Such constriction in my bosom, ah, such anxiety: Painful feelings battle therein. Blossom! At your calyx the pearls Of dew hang blissfully! Ye drops, your radiance is in my eyes And upon my cheeks.
