Er: Wie klang aus deinem Munde Das Ja so wunderbar? Ich bin nun zwei geworden, Der ich so einsam war. Sie Wie klang es aus deinem Munde Beseligend meinem Ohr? Ich habe Ruhe gefunden, Da ich in dir mich verlor. Er: Mein Kind, mein Weib, mein Liebchen, Mein süßes Eigentum, Du meines Laubes Blume, Du meine Freude, mein Ruhm! Sie: Dein Kind, dein Weib, dein Liebchen, Und deine Magd, und dein! Mein teurer Herr, mein Gebieter, Du Vielgeliebter mein! Er: Wie anders ergeht in die Zukunft Sich nun der Gedanken Flug! Nun gilt es, stark zu erhalten, Beharrlich, besonnen und klug. Sie: Vergessen aller Zeiten An deiner lieben Brust! Der Gegenwart genießen In süßer himmlischer Lust! Beide: Wirf, segenreicher Vater, Den Blick auf die Kinder dein, Und laß ihre fromme Liebe Ein Dankgebet dir sein.

He: How from your lips The "yes" sounded so wonderfully? I, who was once so lonely, Have now become two. She: How [the words] from your lips Rang so happily in my ear? I have found my peace Since I lost myself in you. He: My little one, my wife, my darling, My sweet possession, You are the flower of my foliage, You are my joy, my pride! She: Your little one, your wife, your darling, And your servant, and yours! My precious lord, my master, You much-loved man of mine! He: How differently now into the future Is the flight of my thoughts! Now it is important to remain strong, Constant, prudent, and clever. She: To forget all time Upon your dear bosom! To revel in the present In sweet heavenly pleasure! Both: Cast, Father rich in blessings, Thy gaze upon these thy children, And let their devout love Be a prayer of gratitude to thee.
