Die Blume der Ergebung
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich bin die Blum' im Garten,
Und muß in Stille warten,
Wann und in welcher Weise
Du trittst in meine Kreise.

Kommst du, ein Strahl der Sonne,
So werd' ich deiner Wonne
Den Busen still entfalten
Und deinen Blick behalten.

Kommst du als Tau und Regen,
So werd' ich deinen Segen
In Liebesschalen fassen,
Ihn nicht versiegen lassen.

Und fährtest du gelinde
Hin über mich im Winde,
So werd' ich dir mich neigen,
Sprechend: Ich bin dein eigen.

Ich bin die Blum' im Garten,
Und muß in Stille warten,
Wann und in welcher Weise
Du trittst in meine Kreise.
Note: the first stanza is indeed repeated at the end in the original.
