Du Blomst i Dug!
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Du Blomst i Dug! Du Blomst i Dug! Hvisk mig Drømmene dine: Er der i dem den samme Luft, Den samme sælsomme Elverlandsduft Som i mine? Og hvisker, sukker og klager det dèr Gennem døende Duft og blundende Skær, gennem vågende Klang, gennem spirende Sang: I Længsel, I Længsel jeg lever!

Du Blume im Thau See original
Language: English after the Danish (Dansk)
Du Blume im Thau, Du Blume in Thau! Flüstre vom Traum mir, dem deinen. Ziehet durch ihn die gleiche Luft, Die gleiche seltsame Elfenlandsluft Wie durch meinen? Und flüstert, seufzt und klaget drin nicht Aus sterbendem Duft, aus schlummerndem Licht, Aus erwachendem Klang und aus spriessendem Sang: In Sehnsucht, In Sehnsucht leb' ich.
