Im Laubengang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Im Dämmerschatten lag der Blumenflor,
Du kamst mit leichtem Schritt durch's Gartentor,
Ich sah als du vom Strauch die Rose brachst,
Ich lauschte deinem Wort, als leis du sprachst.
Die zarte Rose ward des Windes Raub,
Es flieht vor meinem Tritt das welke Laub,
Ein matter Nebelstreif zu Tale schlich,
Ich geh' in Einsamkeit und denk' an dich.

In the arbour walk
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The carpet of flowers lay in the shadows of twilight.
With a light step, you came through the garden gate;
I saw you breaking a rose from the bush,
I listened to your words as you spoke quietly.
The delicate rose fell prey to the wind,
The wilted leaves flee before my footsteps.
A faint band of fog crept to the valley,
I walk in loneliness and think of you.
