Über Wipfel und Saaten In den Glanz hinein - Wer mag sie erraten, Wer holte sie ein? Gedanken sich wiegen, Die Nacht ist verschwiegen, Gedanken sind frei. Errät' es nur eine, Wer an sie gedacht Beim Rauschen der Haine, Wenn niemand mehr wacht Als die Wolken, die fliegen - Mein Lieb ist verschwiegen Und schön wie die Nacht.

Au-dessus des cimes et des semailles, dans leur propre luminescence, qui peut les deviner, qui peut les rattraper ? Les pensées se bercent, la nuit se tait, les pensées sont libres. Et l’unique, devinerait-elle les pensées qui s’envolent vers elle comme des nuages dans le bruissement du bosquet, quand plus personne ne veille ? Mon amour est aussi taciturne et splendide que la nuit.
