Und immer schöner ward der Tag
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und immer schöner ward der Tag,
Und immer höher stieg die Gluth,
Und immer banger hat dein Blick
Auf meinem stillen Mund geruht.
Ich aber schüttelte den Staub
Vom Kleid und zog dich eilends fort,
Doch was in uns verschlossen war,
Wir wußten's beide ohne Wort.

And the day became ever more beautiful
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
And the day became ever more beautiful,
And the glow [of the sun] rose ever higher,
And ever more anxiously your gaze
Rested upon my silent lips.
But I shook the dust
From my dress and pulled you hurriedly away,
But that which was locked up inside us,
We both knew it without [saying] a word.
