[Am]1 stillen Hain, Im [Abendschein]2, Wenn der Himmel sich röthet, [Die]3 Nachtigall flötet, Gedenk' ich dein. [Bey]4 Mondenschein, Am nahen Hain, Den die Käfer [umschwirren]5, [Die]6 Täubchen durchgirren, Gedenk' ich dein. Ich geh' im Hain Wohl ganz allein, Und seh keine Bäume, Und [hänge]7 und träume Von dir allein. --

[By]1 the quiet grove, In the [evening light]2, When the heavens redden [And] the nightingale flutes, I think of you. In moonlight, Beside the nearby grove About which beetles whirr, Through which little doves coo, I think of you I walk in the grove All alone, And see no trees, And linger and dream Of you alone. --
