Im dunklen Laube flüstert
Ein Vöglein wie im Traum,
Der Abend dämmert, düstert,
Nur Düfte geh'n im Raum.
O komm, mein Lieb, zum Garten,
Erschein' und säume nicht,
Du Stern mit deinem zarten
Viellieben Angesicht!
Der Himmel sel'ger Minne
Senkt sich herab und naht,
Die Nacht mit mildem Sinne,
Verhüllt den Erdenpfad.
O hab' ein süß Erbarmen
Und lös' mein Herz von Pein --
Du Lieb, aus deinen Armen
Geh' ich zum Himmel ein!

In the dark foliage a bird
Whispers as if in a dream,
The evening is becoming twilit and gloomy,
Only scents waft about the region.
Oh come, my love, to the garden,
Appear and do not delay,
You star with your delicate,
Much-loved face!
The heaven of blissful love
Descends and approaches;
In its gentle spirit, the night
Veils the earthly pathway.
Oh take sweet pity upon me
And release my heart from suffering --
You darling, from your arms
I enter Heaven!
