Komm Liebchen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Lang)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
   Komm, Liebchen! es neigen 
Die Wälder sich dir;
Und alles mit Schweigen
Erwartet dich hier.

   Der Himmel, ich bitte,
Von Wölkchen wie leer!
Der Mond in der Mitte,
Die Sternlein umher!

   Der Himmel im glatten
umdämmernden Quell!
Dies Plätzchen im Schatten,
Dies andre so hell!

   Im Schatten, der Liebe
Dich lockendes Glück;
Dir flüsternd: Es bleibe
Noch vieles zurück.

   Es bleiben der süßen
Geheimnisse viel;
So festes Umschliessen;
So wonniges Spiel!

   Da rauscht es! da wanken
Auf jeglichem Baum
Die Aeste; da wanken
Die Vöglein im Traum.

   Komm, Liebchen! es neigen 
Die Wälder sich dir;
Und alles mit Schweigen
Erwartet dich hier.

 ... 

   Dies Wanken, dies Zittern
Der Blätter im Teich -- -- 
O Liebe! dein Wittern!
O Liebe, dein Reich!
