Im blühenden Garten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im blühenden Garten
sein Liebchen erwarten,
von Buchen zu Buchen
sie haschen und suchen,
bis [unter den Linden]1
sie endlich zu finden,
dann [zwischen den Ranken]2
ein wenig [sich]3 zanken
und unter den Eichen
sich wieder vergleichen,
im hohen Gras,
welche Lust ist das!
Und die Büsch' und die Sträucher und Hecken,
die werden uns sicher verstecken.

Was willst vor den Blüten
du [bange]4 dich hüten?
Es lieben die Rosen
das Küssen und Kosen,
je länger, je lieber
[sich freuet]5 darüber,
und wenn die Tulpanen
auch wirklich [nichts]6 ahnen,
die klugen Narzissen
gar manches auch wissen,
und der Rosmarin;
immerhin! Immerhin!
Ach, nur die Vögel, die Vögel!
Die [plaudern es]7 aus in der Regel!

In garden all blooming
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
In garden all blooming
To wait my love's coming,
From beech to beech to trace her,
Seek and to chase her,
At Linden meet her
And laughingly greet her,
Then mid vines holding
a moment for scolding!
And neath the oak fleeing
And once more agreeing,
Thro' waving grass tall,
What delight in it all!
Then the bushes, the shrubs and the hedges,
Of their thorns we'll surely have pledges!

From sweet blossoms chiding,
Why anxiously hiding?
The rose gives her blessing
To kissing, caressing,
The longer, the dearer,
joy ever nearer!
And tho' Tulip's eyes
Should truly surmise,
And Duffodil clever
To know would endeavor.
And sweet Rosemary?
Sure to see! Sure to see!
Only the birds, only the birds,
they'd chatter and tell it all in words!
