Chosen for Diff
Die Amsel flötet,
Es rieselt der Bach,
Waldmeister blühet,
Die Heerde ziehet dem Glockenton nach,
Ich wandle im Grünen,
Bin still und allein.
Es fallen Tropfen;
Mein Herz, welch Klopfen? 
O Schmerzen, o Pein!

Evening hour
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
The blackbirds are piping,
The brook is trickling,
The woodruff is blossoming,
and the faithful are drawn to the tolling bells,
but I wander in the green;
I am quiet and alone.
Tears fall;
My heart, what is this throbbing? 
Oh anguish, oh pain!
