Stumme Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Ließe doch ein hold Geschick
Mich in deinen Zaubernähen,
Mich in deinem Wonneblick
Still verglühen und vergehen;
Wie das fromme Lampenlicht
Sterbend glüht in [stummer]1 Wonne
Vor dem schönen Angesicht
Dieser himmlischen Madonne! -

Amour muet
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Si seulement par un destin favorable
Je me trouvais en ta charmante présence,
Sous ton regard ravissant,
Je me consumerais en silence et m'évanouirais ;
Comme de la lampe la pieuse lumière
En mourant rayonne une muette félicité
Devant le beau visage
De cette céleste madone !
