An Celia's Baum in stiller Nacht Hängt Blumen, treuer Liebe Pfand! Vielleicht, wenn neu der Morgen lacht, Flicht euch zum Kranz der Liebsten Hand. Und fällt auf ihres Busens Pracht Ein Tröpfchen Tau aus eurem Schoß, Dann sagt, es sei kein Tau der Nacht, Nur Tränen, die ihr Freund vergoß.

By Celia's arbour in the still of night, hang the flowers, the pledge of true love! Perhaps when the morning laughs again my darling's hand will weave them into a garland. And if upon the splendour of her bosom there falls a drop of dew from your lap, then say that it is not the dew of the night but only tears that her friend forgot there.
