Wir müssen, Geliebtester, leise
Hinschreiten, ich und du.
Es schläft eine Sangesweise
In des Waldes nächtlicher Ruh.
Verstummt sind Winde und Wellen
Und aller Singvöglein Mund,
Und schweigend rinnen die Quellen
Blank über moosigen Grund.
...
Die Wolken selber droben
Schweben auf Flügeln breit
Und schaun von Glanz umwoben
In die Waldeseinsamkeit.
Wie Wind' und Wellen leise
Schreiten wir, ich und du.
Es schläft eine Sangesweise
In des Waldes nächtlicher Ruh.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
We must, my most beloved, walk
Quietly hither, I and you.
A melody of song is sleeping
In the nocturnal peace of the forest.
The winds and the waves have fallen mute
And all the beaks of the songbirds,
Silently the water-springs flow
Shiningly over the mossy hollow.
...
The clouds themselves above
Are floating on broad pinions
And, woven about with radiance,
They gaze into the forest solitude.
Like the winds and waves, quietly
We must walk hither, I and you.
A melody of song is sleeping
In the nocturnal peace of the forest.
