...
Um meinen Nacken schlingt sich
Ein blütenweißer Arm,
Es ruht auf meinem Munde
Ein Frühling jung und warm.
Ich wandle wie im Traume,
Als wär' mein Aug' verhüllt, --
Du hast mit deiner Liebe
All' meine Welt erfüllt.
Die Welt scheint ganz gestorben,
Wir beide nur allein,
Von Nachtigall'n umklungen
Im blühenden Rosenhain . . .

...
About my neck is wound
A bloom-white arm.
It rests on my mouth
A Spring young and warm.
I wander as in a dream,
As tho' my eyes were veiled.
With your love you have
Filled all my world.
The world about us seems dead,
Only we two alone,
Serenaded by nightingales,
In the blooming rose-grove.
