Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
Die Stunde sei gesegnet, Wo ich dir bin begegnet, Wenn diese Liebe Lust Dir weckt in stiller Brust, Wie Tau auf Blumen regnet! Der Stunde sei geflucht, Wo ich dein Herz gesucht, Wenn in dir diese Liebe Statt milder Freudentriebe Soll tragen herbe Frucht! -- Gesegnet ist die Stunde, Sprach sie mit süßem Munde, Mir ist kein Weh gescheh'n; Den Himmel fühl' ich stehn In meines Herzens Grunde.

That hour shall blest indeed be
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
That hour shall blest indeed be, In which I first did meet thee, If to thy inmost heart This love doth joy impart As dew to flow'rs my sweet be! That hour with curse be fraught, In which thy heart I sought, If I, in love bestowing, Instead of gladness knowing, A bitter grief have bought! "My soul that hour e'er blesses," A rosy mouth confesses Thy love is all I crave, Then heav'n itself I have Within my heart's recesses.
