Sommermittag
 (Sung text for setting by L. Thuille)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Nun ist es still um Hof und Scheuer,
Und in der Mühle ruht der Stein;
Der Birnenbaum mit blanken Blättern
Steht regungslos im Sonnenschein.

Die Bienen summen so verschlafen;
Und in der offnen Bodenluk',
Benebelt von dem Duft des Heues,
Im grauen Röcklein nickt der Puk.

Der Müller schnarcht und das Gesinde,
Und nur die Tochter wacht im Haus;
Die lachet still und zieht sich heimlich
Fürsichtig die Pantoffeln aus.

Sie geht und weckt den Müllerburschen,
Der kaum den schweren Augen traut:
"Nun küsse mich, verliebter Junge;
Doch sauber, sauber! nicht zu laut."
