11Windes Rauschen, Gottes Flügel,The soughing of the wind, God's pinions,
22Tief in kühler Waldesnacht;Deep within the cool forest night;
33Wie der Held in Rosses Bügel,As the hero swings himself into the horse's stirrups,
44Schwingt sich des Gedankens Macht.The power of storms surges thither.
55Wie die alten Tannen sausen,As the old fir trees swish
66Hört man Geistes Wogen brausen.You hear the whirlwind roar.
77
88Herrlich ist der Flamme LeuchtenAs flaming bolts of lightning shoot
99In des Morgenglanzes Roth,Through the green of the fir-tops!
1010Oder die das Feld befeuchten,And at their fiery kisses
1111Blitze, schwanger oft von Tod.The oak -- singed -- topples to the ground;
1212Rasch die Flamme zuckt und lodert,Rapidly the flame flickers and flares,
1313Wie zu Gott hinaufgefodert.As if ordered into God's presence.
1414
1515Ewig's Rauschen sanfter QuellenListen! to hearken down into the valley
1616Zaubert Blumen aus dem Schmerz,You are being beckoned;
1717Trauer doch in linden WellenThere the hidden murmuring of water-springs
1818Schlägt uns lockend an das Herz;Beats beguilingly upon your heart;
1919Fernab hin der Geist gezogen,Airily the throng appears,
2020Die uns locken, durch die Wogen.The throng that entices you into the waves.
2121
2222Drang des Lebens aus der Hülle,Be warned of the elves
2323Kampf der starken Triebe wild,Who beckon you into the dale,
2424Wird zur schönsten Liebesfülle,Ensnare you with love's allurement
2525Durch des Geistes Hauch gestillt.And with singing from sweet lips.
2626Schöpferischer Lüfte WehenYou feel the blowing of beguiling breezes
2727Fühlt man durch die Seele gehen.Passing through your soul.
2828
2929Windes Rauschen, Gottes Flügel,To evade the snares of spirits
3030Tief in dunkler Waldesnacht,You are helped only by the might of the storm,
3131Frei gegeben alle ZügelThe soughing of the wind, God's pinions,
3232Schwingt sich des Gedankens Macht,Deep within the cool forest night
3333Hört in Lüften ohne GrausenUnbridled, you bound
3434Den Gesang der Geister brausen.Through the dark tempestuous night,
35You hear without horror in the breezes
36The singing of spirits roar.
