 ... 

Zwischen grünen Bäumen 
Schaut des Müllers Haus, 
Wie der Sitz des Friedens 
Auf das Thal hinaus.  

Waldbachs wilde Woge 
Treibt das rasche Rad, 
Das, wie Liebessehnen, 
Niemals Ruhe hat. 

In dem Gärtchen neben 
Schmückt die Sommerlust 
Sich mit frischen Blumen 
Locken, Haar und Brust.  

Grüne Epheuranke 
Hat die Gartenwand 
Mit dem grünen Blätter- 
Netze überspannt.

The flowers open their eyes

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

 ... 

Between green trees
The miller's house,
As if it were the domicile of peace,
Gazes out at the valley.

The wild wave of the forest stream
Drives the rapid wheel,
Which, like the longing of love,
Never ceases.

In the adjacent little garden
The joy of springtime
With fresh flowers is adorning
Its curls, hair and breast.

The green tendrils of ivy
Have delicately spanned
The garden wall
With a net of leaves.
