Sinkt des Taggestirnes Lauf
Geht für mich die Sonne auf,
Dann erscheint mit flücht'gem Fuß
Leise sie auf dem Balkon,
Lauschend meines Liedes Gruß,
-- Sonne, kaum genaht, entflohn! --
Dann aus zarter, weißer Hand
Eine Rose niederschwebt;
Eh' die meine auf sie hebt,
Wieder Nacht rings -- sie entschwand

When the day‑star's journey has ended
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
When the day-star's journey has ended
The sun rises for me;
Then with fleet feet she appears
Quietly upon the balcony,
Listening to the greeting of my song.
-- The sun, having only just approached, has flown away! --
Then from a delicate, white hand
A rose floats down;
Before my hand picks it up,
It is once more night all around -- she has vanished.
