Es ist nun wieder ein Junitag
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es ist nun wieder ein Junitag, ein Tag voll Duft und Schimmer, und die Nachtigall singt mit süßem Schlag, Du aber gingst fort für immer. Es nahm meine Hand den Wanderstab und führt' ihn ohn' Glück, ohne Frieden, und deine Locken schnitten sie ab in einem Kloster im Süden.

A day of June has return'd once more
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
A day of June has return'd once more, a day of fragrance and glory, and the nightingale warbles her love-songs o'er, mine is the sad, sad story. Forsaken I wander'd to distant lands, but where shall I comfort borrow? Thy locks were cut by cruel hands in yonder convent, o Sorrow!
From the Fielitz score.
