O Mädchen, komm und lass uns ziehen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Old French (Ancien français)
O Mädchen, komm und lass uns ziehen zum schattigen, stillen Hain, den Augen der Welt zu entfliehen und selig allein dort zu sein; dort tanzen wir auf weichen Moosen mit fröhlichem Kindersinn. Und lauschen wir dort der Blätter Rauschen, der Drossel und der Wachtel Schlag, lass Küsse uns und Blicke tauschen am wonnigen Frühlingstag; ich kränze dein Haar mit Rosen, Gelbveigelein und Jasmin!

O maiden, o come, our way betaking
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
O maiden, o come, our way betaking To shadowy quiet hill, The eyes of the world forsaking Be happy alone there still, There dance at will on softest mosses In merriest childish glee. And list to the murm'ring leaflets sighing To quail and thrush in wonted lay, In kisses and glances each vying In rapturous springtide day. I'll crown thee with love, with fair roses, Gold vi'lets an jasamine!
