Our translations: ENG
Komm, Liebchen! es neigen Die Wälder sich dir; Und alles mit Schweigen Erwartet dich hier. Der Himmel, ich bitte, Von Wölkchen wie leer! Der Mond in der Mitte, Die Sternlein umher! Der Himmel im glatten [Umdämmerten]1 Quell! Dies Plätzchen im Schatten, Dies andre so hell! Im Schatten, der Liebe Dich lockendes Glück; Dir flüsternd: Es [bliebe]2 Noch vieles zurück. Es [blieben]3 der süßen Geheimnisse viel; So festes Umschliessen; So wonniges Spiel! Da rauscht es! da wanken Auf jeglichem Baum Die Aeste; da [schwanken]4 Die [Vögel]5 im Traum. Dies Wanken, dies Zittern Der Blätter [im]6 Teich -- -- O Liebe! dein Wittern! O Liebe, dein Reich!
J. Lang sets stanzas 1-6, 1, 7
