O Junitage im Sonnenschein
Im flutenden, wolkenlosen!
Buntblumige Wiesen und blühender Wein!
Und in der Gärten landaus, landein
Herzkirschen und Rosen!

Herzkirschen und Rosen, und blühend am Hang
Resedaduftende Reben!
Die Nächte so weich und die Tage so lang!
So heiter die Stirnen, so hell der Gesang!
So wonnig das Leben!

Die Geißblattlauben voll heimlichem Schall,
Voll leisem, flüsterndem Kosen.
Und jeder Lufthauch ein Düfteschwall,
Und überall Segen, und überall 
Herzkirschen und Rosen!

Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
O sunny days of June divine,
Fresh beauty each hour discloses!
Of blossoming meadows, and zephyrs benign,
And in the gardens with fruit and vine,
Heart's-ease and Roses!

Heart's-ease and Roses; a perfume strong
The mellowing vineyards are giving!
The nights so lang'rous, the days so long!
So beaming the brow and so ringing the song!
Such joy but in living!

You leafy arbor all tremulous there,
Doth sigh as at night it reposes,
Rich blessings fill all the scented air
With rapture surpassing; and ev'rywhere
Heart's-ease and Roses!
