Hier in diesen erdbeklomm'nen
Lüften, wo die Wehmut taut,
Hab' ich dir den unvollkomm'nen
Kranz geflochten, Schwester, Braut!
Wenn uns droben Aufgenomm'nen
Gottes Sohn' entgegenschaut,
Wird die Liebe den vollkomm'nen
Kranz uns flechten, Schwester, Braut.

Here in this oppressive
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Here in this oppressive
air where nostalgia melts,
I have woven for you an imperfect
wreath, sister, bride!
When we have reached Heaven,
God's son will await us
and Love will weave for us
a perfect wreath, sister, bride!
