 ... 

Der Liebsten Herz ist aufgewacht
  Als wie aus tiefem Traume,
  Es sieht erstaunt die Frühlingspracht
  Um sich im Weltenraume.

Der Liebsten Herz ist aufgewacht
  Zu einem neuen Leben;
  Ein Himmel hat es angelacht,
  Darein will ich verschweben.

Der Liebsten Herz ist aufgewacht
  Als wie die Ros' am Strauche;
  Die Liebe hat es angefacht
  Mit einem frischen Hauche.

 ... 

Der Liebsten Herz ist aufgewacht,
  Ich hab' es aufgewecket,
  Und wache, daß es keine Nacht
  Des Grames wieder decket.

My beloved's heart has awakened

(Sung text translation for setting by P. von Decker)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

 ... 

My beloved's heart has awakened
  As if from a deep dream;
  Astonished, it perceives the splendour of springtime
  All around in the universe.

My beloved's heart has awakened
  To a new life;
  A heaven has smiled upon it,
  Within which I wish to waft away.

My beloved's heart has awakened
  Like the rose upon the bush;
  Love has set it aglow
  With a fresh breath.

 ... 

My beloved's heart has awakened,
  I have woken it
  And keep watch that no night
  Of grief ever comes upon it again.
