Nun hast du alles mir gegeben,
Was mir noch blieb,
Und flüsterst nur noch unter Beben:
Behalt mich lieb!

Nun lös' ich leise dir die Hände 
Und atme kaum --
O Wunder du ohn' alles Ende . . . .
O Märchentraum!

Dream of love

(Sung text translation for setting by R. von Procházka)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Now you have given me everything
That I still had,
And, trembling, you now only whisper:
Keep on loving me!

Now I gently loosen your hands for you
And scarcely breathe --
Oh you wonder without any end . . . .
Oh fairy-tale dream!
