Habe gestern Nachts im Dunkeln In die Augen dir geschaut, Sah zwei Sterne drinnen funkeln, Denen ich mein Glück vertraut! Um mich her ein leises Wehen, Als ob es im Lenze früht, Und ich mußt' mir still gestehen, Daß mir eine Rose blüht! Und ich habe dann geträumet Wunderlieblich dies und das, Wie der Liebe Becher schäumet Wie so klinget Glas an Glas! Und ich fühlte, daß es lenzet Wieder neu mir im Gemüth, Sah beim Wein, der mir kredenzet, Daß mir eine Rose blüht! Wie beim Sang der Frühlingschöre Bin ich heitern Sinns erwacht, Hab', ob ich mich wohl bethöre, Froh des süßen Traums gedacht; Und ich hab' es tief empfunden, Wie das Herz so liebend glüht, Denkend in den Morgenstunden, Daß mir eine Rose blüht! Und es treibt in meinem Innern Etwas mir die Brust so weit, Welch' ein liebliches Erinnern [Bringt]1 mir diese Seligkeit! Ueber Nacht ist mir's gekommen, Daß es Lieder in mir sprüht, Denn ich hab' es still vernommen, Daß mir eine Rose blüht!

Last night in the dark I gazed into your eyes, I saw two stars sparkling therein, To which I entrusted my happiness! About me there was a quiet wafting, As if it were a morning in spring, And quietly I had to admit to myself That a rose is blooming for me! And then I dreamed Wondrously beautifully about this and that, How the goblet of love foams, How glass clinks against glass! And I felt that springtime was coming Once again newly in my spirit, While I drank the wine that had been proffered me, I saw That a rose is blooming for me! As to the singing of spring choruses I awoke with a joyful spirit; Though I might well be deluding myself, I happily thought of the sweet dream; And I felt it deep within me, How my heart was glowing so lovingly, Thinking in the morning hours That a rose is blooming for me! And something within me is Making my heart expand, What a lovely remembering This bliss [brings]1 me! Overnight I have come to realize That poems are bubbling up within me, For I have softly heard [the tidings] That a rose is blooming for me!
