Unter blühenden Bäumen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Unter blühenden Bäumen Hab' [bei]1 schweigender Nacht Ich in seligen Träumen Dein, [du Holde]2, gedacht. Duftend streute die Linde Blüten nieder zu mir; Schmeichelnd kosten die Winde Wie ein Grüßen von dir. Und ein himmlisches Singen Schien vom Sternengezelt [Leise]3 hernieder zu klingen Durch die schlafende Welt.

Under blossoming trees
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Beneath blossoming trees in the silent night, in blissful dreams I think of you, you lovely woman. The fragrant linden trees strewed blossoms down upon me; the winds caressed pleasantly like a greeting from you. And a heavenly singing from the starry sky seemed to float gently down to permeate the sleeping world.
