Nun bist du worden mein eigen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun bist du worden mein eigen, ich halte dich treu umfasst; in meinem Herzen, da schweigen die Stürme, und Englein steigen hernieder und halten Rast. Nun sind in Treu' wir vereinet, verstumme nun, Welt um uns her! In deinen Augen, da scheinet mir Himmel und Erde vereinet wie Sonnenstrahlen im Meer! Gehörst fürs ganze Leben nun mir, und ich dir allein, bis unsre Seelen heben die Fittige einst und schweben in den lichten Himmel hinein!

Now thou art mine, mine for ever
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Now thou art mine, mine for ever, I hold thee in true embrace, And from my heart now shall sever All storm, and sweet angels ever Descend and hold their place. Now we are faithfully plighted, All silent the world to us be, By thy dear eyes ever lighted, My heaven and earth are united like sunlight over the sea! Tro' life for ever clinging To me, I to thee alone, Until our souls shall winging High over the fair earth swinging To the light of heaven have flown!
