Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun steigt der Rebenblüthe Duft Von allen Hügeln nieder. Nun rauschen durch die blaue Luft Die goldnen Klänge wieder; Die Klänge aus der schönen Zeit -- Das ist ein Weh und Herzeleid, Daß ich nun ferne bin! O schöner Strom, o blüh'ndes Thal, Du wandernde Frühlingssonne, Gieb mir nur noch ein Einzigmal Den Becher jener Wonne! Die ganze Seele dürstet hier, Und jede Stunde kündet mir, Daß ich nun ferne bin!

1. In foreign lands
Language: English
Now the scent of the vineyards’ blossoms Descends from all the hills. Now the golden sounds again Rush through the blue air; The sounds from the lovely time -- It is a woe and and a heartbreak That I am now so far away! Oh lovely river, oh blossoming valley, You wandering spring sun, Give me only just once more The goblet of that bliss! My entire soul is thirsting here, And every hour proclaims to me That I am now so far away!

2. I walked in a storm
Language: English
Ye storms through the field, Ye flood through, ye roar through The canopy of the forest! I walked in a storm Out [and away] from my beloved, [In a stormy embrace I shall someday return home!]1 Ye storms were the witness At the blessed spot, In a roundelay ye still bear Her loving word, The word is mine, Ye carried it away from me, The word, ah, the one word, The blessed word!

3. Zu deinen Füssen will ich ruhn [sung text not yet checked]
by Martin Blumner (1827 - 1901), "Zu deinen Füssen will ich ruhn", op. 3 (Drei Gedichte von Otto Roquette für eine Singstimme mit Pianoforte) no. 3, published 1854 [ voice and piano ], Berlin, Bahn
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zu deinen Füßen will ich ruhn, Und dir in's Auge schaun, Die blaue Nacht mag leise nun Auf uns herniederthaun, Schon tauchet aus dem stillen See Des Mondes Bild empor, Und kühner streift das scheue Reh Durch Wald und Wiesenmoor. Mein Haupt laß ruhn auf deinem Schooß, Da ruht es sanft und weich. Wie ist der Himmel weit und groß, Wie ist die Erde reich! Der schönste Stern in blauer Nacht, Der schönste Stern bist du, In deines Lichtes sanfter Pracht O gönne mir die Ruh! An deinem Herzen laß mich ruhn Nur kurze, seelge Zeit! Kein Lauscher kündet unser Thun, Die Welt ist traumgefeit. An deinen Lippen laß mich ruhn, Eh noch die Nacht verglimmt, Bis unsre Seele träumend nun In Seeligkeit verschwimmt!

3.
Language: English
I wish to rest at your feet, And gaze into your eyes, Quietly the blue night may now Fall dewily down upon us, From the quiet lake already Rises the image of the moon, And more boldly the shy deer Wanders through forest and meadow moorland. Let my head rest upon your lap, There it may rest gently and softly. How great and wide is the sky, How rich the earth! The most lovely star in the blue night, The most lovely star is you, In the gentle splendour of your light Oh grant me rest! Let me rest upon your heart For only a short, blessed time! No eavesdropper shall tell of what we do, The world has been made immune by dreams. Let me rest upon your lips, Before yet the night glimmers out, Until our soul, dreaming now, Dissolves in bliss!
