Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Durch seliges Sommerland, Fest liegen [unsere]1 Hände Wie in einander gebannt. Die große Sommersonne Hat [unsere]2 Herzen erhellt, Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Bis an das Ende der Welt. Und bleicht deine sinkende Stirne, Und läßt meine Seele ihr Haus, Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Auch in das Jenseits hinaus. Wem solch ein Sommer beschieden, [Der lacht der flüchtigen Zeit]3 Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Durch alle Ewigkeit.4

In golden abundance
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
We walk through golden abundance Of summer's enchanted land. Spellbound we two walk together Clasping each other's hand. The summer sun's great splendour Has set our young hearts aglow, So blithely in golden abundance To the end of the world we will go. Then when your fair brow will grow pallid And my soul abandon its berth, We'll walk on in golden abundance Beyond the far rim of the earth. To whom such a summer was granted, He laughs at time's fleeting with glee. We walk on in golden abundance Through all eternity.
