Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ein Brünnlein im Felde, sechs Linden im Kreis,
Und die Wälder so still, und die Sonne so heiß,
Und wir beide am Brunnenstein
So mutterseelenallein.
Du botest mir lächelnd den Zauberkelch,
Und ich trank ihn leer bis zur Neige,
Meine Augen sagten dir: "Schweige!
Es ist ein liebliches Wunder in mir,
Wenn die Stunde kommt, verrath' ich es dir."
Da rauschte es leis durch die Zweige:
"Schweige."
