Wie eine Blume in milder Nacht, Vom Mond gespeist, vom Thau getränkt, Wachs' ich von Deiner Erde auf Zu Dir, der mich hier eingesenkt. Deine Stürme fahren daher, dahin, Deine Lenzluft lockt, Deine Mondnacht thaut -- Tue mit mir nach Deinem Sinn: Du bist mein Gärtner, ich Dein Kraut!

Like a flower in the mild night, Fed by the moon, given dew to drink, I grow upward from Thy earth To Thee, who planted me here. Thy storms travel from yonder, thence, Thy springtime air entices, Thy moonlit night melts -- Do ... with me according to Thy purpose: Thou art my gardner, I ... Thy herb!
