Von stillem Ort,
Von kühler Statt
Nahm ich mit fort
Ein Epheublatt.

Ein Requiem
Tönt leis und matt,
So oft ich nehm
Zur Hand das Blatt.

Wenn aller Schmerz
Geendet hat,
Legt mir auf's Herz
Das Epheublatt.

Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
From a quiet place,
from a cool place,
I carried away 
an ivy leaf.

I hear a requiem,
soft and weak,
whenever I pick up
that leaf.

When all my sorrow
has ended,
lay this leaf
upon my heart.
