Ein Wort von deinem Munde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ein Wort von deinem Munde,
Das mir herüber klang,
Tönt mir wie eine Kunde
Von goldnem Märchensang.
Durch meine Seele rauschen
Die goldnen Klänge all,
Und alle Tiefen lauschen
Dem süßen Wiederhall.
Ein Blick von deinem Auge,
Mein ganzer Himmel du!
Bringt mit Versöhnungshauche
Mein ganzes Herz zur Ruh.
So schicken seelge Mächte
Vom blauen Himmelsthor
Durch warme Sommernächte
Ein leuchtend Meteor.

One word from your lips
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
One word from your lips
That rang out from yonder,
Sounds to me like tidings
Of golden fairy-tale song.
Through my soul rush
All the golden tones,
And all the depths harken
To the sweet echo.
One glance from your eyes,
You my entire heaven,
With a reconciling breeze brings
Peace to my whole heart.
Thus blessed powers send forth
From the blue gate of Heaven
Through the warm summer nights
A shining meteor.
