Im Sommer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es winken und nicken hervor aus dem Korn
Die Blumen, die roten und blauen,
Und tauige Röslein von Busch und Dorn
Verstohlen herüberschauen.
O Liebe, o Wonne, wie reich erblüht!
Vorüber das Suchen und Schweifen!
Still in sich selber die Seele glüht
Und die Früchte des Lebens reifen.

In summertime
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
From out of the wheat there beckon and nod
The flowers, red ones and blue one,
From bush and thorn-bush dewy roses
Gaze furtively over to us.
Oh love, oh rapture, how richly blossomed!
The searching and roving is over!
Quietly within itself the soul glows
And the fruits of life ripen.
