Spaziergang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über weite Wiesen schweif ich Wo's aus tausend Keimen bricht, Gräser, Kräuter dicht an dicht, und mit Kinderblicken greif ich treulich so in's Licht, so in's Licht und in die Weite, und die Augen blenden mir, und mit diesen Händen hier brech'ich Blumen bunt zur seite, und die Blumen bring ich dir.

Lilies and roses
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
O'er the spreading meads I wander, all around with blossoms teems, soft the murmuring brooklet streams and, while child-like gazing, wonder whence the bright light gleams: far I gaze o'er rivers flowing, flowing toward the boundless sea and on sunlight flooded lea gather lilies, roses glowing and I bring them, love, to thee.
From the Wolff score.
