Der Klostergarten
 (Sung text for setting by W. Goethe)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Im stillen Klostergarten
Fangt's wieder an zu blüh'n,
Doch blicken nur weiße Rosen 
Hervor aus dunklem Grün.

In Beeten stehen Lilien
Wie neugefall'ner Schnee,
Sie senken halb die Häupter,
Als trügen sie ein Weh.

Und in dem grünen Gange
Wallt eine Nonne mild,
Gehüllt in weiße Schleier,
Zum Mutter-Gottes Bild.

Sie kniet am Bilde nieder,
Und schaut zu ihm hinauf,
Und aus den Augen nehmen
Zwei Thränlein ihren Lauf.
