Meine Selinde! denn mit Engelstimme
Singt die Liebe mir zu: sie wird die Deine!
Sie wird die Meine! Himmel und Erde schwinden!
Meine Selinde!

Thränen der Sehnsucht, die auf blassen Wangen
Bebten, fallen herab als Freudenthränen!
Denn mir tönt die himmlische Stimme: deine
Wird sie! die Deine!

Stem van de liefde

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

O, mijn Selinde! Want met eng'lenklanken
Zingt de liefde mij toe: Zij wordt de jouwe!
Zij wordt de mijne! Hemel en aarde verdwijnen!
O, mijn Selinde!
 
Tranen van hunkering, die op bleke wangen beefden,
Vallen nu neer als vreugdetranen!
Want mij zingt de hemelse stem toe:
De jouwe wordt zij, de jouwe!
