Our translations: FRE
In einem Garten, unter dunklen Bäumen, erwarten wir die Frühlingsnacht. Noch glänzt ein Stern; aus dem Fenster, schwellend, die Töne einer Geige... Der Goldregen [blinkt]1, der Flieder duftet, in unsren Herzen geht der Mond auf!

Deep in a garden
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Deep in a garden all with blossoms teeming we sit and wait for vernal night. No star yet gleams, from the open window soft pleads a dulcet viol... The soft air is scented with lilac odours; our hearts awake to night's soft splendour!
From the Wolff score.
