Glockenblumen, was läutet ihr?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Glockenblumen, was läutet ihr? Wer ist im Walde gestorben? Oder wißt ihr, daß heimlich hier Liebe um Liebe geworben? Wißt ihr's, wohin auf dem einsamen [Gang]1 Schritt und Gedanken mir streben? [Glocken]2, ich höre nicht euren Klang, Seh' euch nur schwingen und schweben. Lauschenden Blättern denn läutet es aus, Klinget wie Harfen und Psalmen, Meldet's im Grünen von Haus zu Haus Bäumen und Büschen und Halmen. Liebe macht selig wie nichts in der Welt, Lachen [könnt']3 ich und weinen, Glücklichste ich unterm Himmelszelt, Blumen, -- ich liebe Einen!

Canterbury bells, why do you toll?
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Canterbury bells, why do you toll? Who has died in the forest? Or do you know that secretly here Love wooed love? Do you know whither on the solitary [walk]1 My steps and thoughts are striving? [Bells]2, I do not hear your sound, I only see you swinging and swaying. Ring it out to the listening leaves, Resound like harps and psalms, Proclaim it in the greenery from house to house To trees and bushes and grass blades. Love makes one happy like nothing else in the world, I [could]3 laugh and weep, I am the happiest under the canopy of heaven, Flowers, -- I love Someone!
