Stille nun ist Flur und Hain
Language: German (Deutsch)
Stille nun ist Flur und Hain,
Ferne Glocken klingen
Noch als letzter Gruß herein,
Frieden uns zu bringen.
Drunt' im Thal ein Hüttchen steht,
Hin den Blick ich wende,
Drinnen faltet zum Gebet
Sie die frommen Hände.
Und ihr Auge himmelwärts
Einem Stern begegnet,
Der für mich ihr liebes Herz
Und den Traum ihr segnet.

Meadow and grove are now quiet
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Meadow and grove are now quiet,
Distant bells are sounding into the silence
As a last greeting
To bring us peace.
Down in the valley stands a little hut,
I turn my gaze thither;
Within it she is clasping
Her pious hands in prayer.
And her eyes, turned heavenward,
Encounter a star,
Which on my behalf blesses
Her dear heart and her dream.
