Und die Rosen die prangen, [Darüber hin]1 fährt der Wind, Und die Lust ist vergangen, Fast eh' sie beginnt. Und die Vöglein die singen, Und die Luft die verweht's, Durch die Welt geht ein [Klingen]2, Und keiner versteht's. Und die Sterne die scheinen So [schön in]3 die Nacht. Ich aber [möcht']4 weinen Inmitten der Pracht.

And the roses which shine, Overhead rides the wind, And desire is passed, Almost before it begins. And the bird which sings, And the wind which scatters it, Through the world goes a sound, And no one understands it. And the stars which shine So [beautifully in]1 the night. I, however, [would like to]2 weep In the midst of splendor.
