Die Lilien glühn in Düften, Die Blüthe spielt am Baum; Hoch zieht in stillen Lüften Im bunten Schmuck der Traum. Und wo er blickt, da neigen Die Blumen das Haupt überall; Und wo er blickt, da schweigen Waldrauschen und Nachtigall. Mir wird das Herz so stille In dieser milden Nacht; Es bricht der eigne Wille, Die alte Lieb' erwacht. Fast ist's, als käm' ein Grüßen Auf mich vom Himmelszelt, Und Frieden möcht' ich schließen Mit Gott und aller Welt.

The lilies glow in scents, The blossom frolics upon the tree; High up in the silent breezes The dream travels, colourfully adorned. And wherever it gazes, there The flowers bend their heads everywhere; And wherever it gazes there fall silent The soughing of the forest and the nightingale. My heart becomes so quiet In this mild night; My own will breaks, The old love awakens. It is almost as if a greeting came Upon me from the heavenly vault, And I would like to make peace With God and with the whole world.
