Versunken bin ich ganz darinnen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Versunken bin ich ganz darinnen,
In dieser stillen Winterwelt,
Bis in mein Schaffen und mein Sinnen
Mit einmal dein Gedenken fällt!
Ich horche auf! -- Was ist erklungen?
Ich fühl's, wie meine Wangen glüh'n;
Mir träumt: ein Vogel hätt' gesungen
Und alle Welt wär' wieder grün.

I am utterly immersed
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I am utterly immersed
In this silent winter world,
Until into my labour and my thoughts
Suddenly falls the memory of you!
I harken! -- What has sounded?
I feel how my cheeks glow;
I dream: a bird has sung
And the world is green again.
