Es war dort unter dem Lindenbaum, Da träumt' ich seligen Frühlingstraum. Sie hielt den Becher in weißer Hand, Ich aber jauchzte ins helle Land: "Dein Wohl, du liebliche Liebe!" Es war dort unter dem Lindenbaum, Da hab' ich begraben den Jugendtraum. Kein Stern erhellte die kalte Nacht, Als sie die Äugelein zugemacht, Die bleiche, sterbende Liebe. Nun sitz' ich unter dem Lindenbaum, Und denk' an den flüchtigen Liebestraum, Bei Nacht und Tage, bei Tag und Nacht -- Mein Eins und mein Alles, gut' Nacht, gut' Nacht, Lebwohl, du liebliche Liebe!

Twas there under the linden tree, I dreamed a blissful dream of spring. She held the goblet in her white hand, But I exulted into the bright land: "Health to you, you lovely love!" Twas there under the linden tree, There I buried the dream of my youth. No star brightened that cold night In which she closed her eyes, The pale, dying love. Now I sit under the linden tree And think about the fleeting dream of love, By night and day, by day and night -- My one and all, good night, good night, Farewell, you lovely love!
