Ich denke dein, [Wenn]1 durch den Hain Der Nachtigallen [Akkorde]2 schallen! [Wann]3 denkst du mein? Ich denke dein Im Dämmerschein Der Abendhelle Am Schattenquelle! Wo denkst du mein?

I think of you When through the grove The nightingales Sing out their chords! When do you think of me? I think of you At the twilight Of evening By the shadowy spring! Where do you think of me? I think of you With sweet pain, With anxious longing And hot tears! How do you think of me? O think of me Until our union On a better star! However distant I may be I think only of you!
