Im Walde weit,
Auf der Heide breit
Kein Hauch!
Lege dich, müder Wanderer, auch
Jetzt unter den Strauch!
Ist Alles stille, ist Alles Ruh',
Beschlossen in Friedens Schranken; --
Der Bach nur stürmet immerzu,
Und meiner Liebe Gedanken.

In the vast forest,
On the wide heath,
Not a breath!
You too, weary wanderer, lie down
Now under the bush!
Everything is quiet, everything is calm,
Gathered into the subjugation of peace; --
Only the brook storms incessantly,
And my thoughts of love.
