by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)
Translation by Georg Friedrich Reiß (1823 - 1884)

Dans l'air plein de fils de soie
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dans l'air plein de fils de soie,
Montaient les lys palpitants,
Les lys que l'aube déploie:
Ma mie était toute joie...
Oh ! le beau jour de printemps !

L'air où flottait la caresse
D'un clair de lune [enchanté]1,
Baignait ma blanche maîtresse.
Ma mie était toute ivresse...
Oh ! la [belle]2 nuit d'été !

[Le vent]3 qui siffle à ma porte,
Seul, bat mon seuil entr'ouvert.
Ma plainte, le vent l'emporte :
Ma mie est peut-être morte !...
Oh! le triste soir d'hiver !

Lenz bringt holde Augenweide
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Lenz bringt holde Augenweide,
Lilienkelche sind bereit,
es blüht im Wald und in der Heiden,
mein Liebchen hüpfte vor Freuden.
Ach! Wie so schön die Frühlingszeit!

Mit der Abendröte Blicken
einte sich des Mondes Pracht,
viel tausend Grüße zu schicken;
mein Liebchen war ganz Entzücken.
Ach! Wie so schön die Sommernacht!

Langsam schwinden meine Tage,
denn der Winter brach herein,
die Stürme verweh'n die Klage,
mein Lieb' ruht vielleicht im Totenhage!
O der bösen Winternacht!
