1 Keller: "umwehen"2 Keller: "sehen"
I feel your breath Wafting about me everywhere. Wherever my eyes look I imagine I am seeing your image. In the ocean of my thoughts You can only be submerged In order to rise again in beauty Like the sun in the morning.

Mein Herz ist wie die dunkle Nacht, Wenn alle Wipfel rauschen; Da [steigt]1 der Mond in voller Pracht Aus Wolken sacht -- Und sieh, der Wald verstummt in tiefem [Lauschen]2. Der Mond, der [helle]3 Mond bist du; [Aus]4 deiner [Liebesfülle]5 Wirf [einen, einen]6 Blick mir zu Voll Himmelsruh -- Und sieh, dies ungestüme Herz wird stille.

My heart is like the dark night, when all the treetops rustle; There rises the moon in full splendour from among clouds softly, and behold, the forest grows silent in deep listening. The moon, the bright moon are you: In your abundance of love cast a glance to me full of heavenly peace, and behold, this unquiet heart becomes still.

In meinem Garten die Nelken mit ihrem Purpurstern [müssen]1 nun alle verwelken, denn [du]2 bist fern. Auf meinem [Herde]3 die Flammen die ich bewacht so gern, [sanken in]4 Asche zusammen, denn [du]2 bist fern. Die Welt ist mir verdorben, mich grüßt nicht [Blume nicht]5 Stern, mein Herz ist [lange]6 gestorben, denn du bist fern.

The carnations in my garden with their crimson center-star they all must wilt away now, because you are afar. The flames in my hearth I so loved to watch, they crumbled to ashes, because you are afar. The world went sour, with neither flower greeting me nor star - my heart died away long ago, because you are afar.

Nicht mit [Engeln im]1 blauem Himmelszelt, Nicht mit Rosen [auf]2 duftigem Blumenfeld, Selbst mit [dem ewigen Sonnenlicht]3, [Vergleiche]4 ich Zuleikha, mein Mädchen nicht! Denn der Engel Busen ist [liebesleer]5, Unter Rosen drohen die Dornen her, Und die Sonne verhüllt des Nachts ihr Licht, Sie alle gleichen Zuleikha nicht. Nichts finden, so weit das Weltall reicht, Die Blicke, was meiner Zuleikha gleicht! Schön, dornlos, voll ewigem Liebes-Schein! Kann sie mit sich selbst nur verglichen sein!

Not with angels in the blue canopy of heaven, Not with roses [on]1 the scented flowery meadow, Even with the [eternal light of the sun]2, Do I compare Suleika, my maiden! For the bosom of the angels is void of love, From under the roses thorns threaten, And the sun hides its light at night, They are all nothing like Suleika. As far as the universe extends, my eyes Find nothing that is like my Suleika! Beautiful, thornless, full of the eternal glow of love, She can only be compared to herself!

Vöglein, wohin so schnell? „Nach Norden, nach Norden! Dort scheint die [Sonne]1 [nun so]2 hell, Dort ist's nun Frühling [worden]3.“ O Vöglein mit den Flügeln bunt, Und wenn du kommst zum Lindengrund, Zum Hause meiner [Lieben]4, Dann sag' ihr, daß ich Tag und Nacht Von ihr geträumt, an sie gedacht, Und daß ich treu geblieben. Und die Blumen im Thal, Grüss tausend, tausendmal!

Little bird, where are you going so quickly? "To the north, to the north! There the sun is shining now so brightly, and there it has already become springtime." O little bird with colorful wings, when you come to the valley of linden trees, to the house of my beloved, tell her that day and night I dream about her and think about her, and that I have remained faithful. And to the flowers in the valley, greet them a thousand times!

Liebster! Nur dich sehen, dich hören und dir schweigend angehören; nicht umstricken dich mit Armen, nicht am Busen dir erwarmen, nicht dich küssen, nicht dich fassen - dieses alles kann ich lassen, nur nicht das Gefühl vermissen, mein dich und mich dein zu wissen.
