In deinem Herzen da muß es sein
Language: German (Deutsch)
In deinem Herzen da muß es sein So wie in einem Juwelenschrein. Die Sehnsucht schimmert aus Perlen reich, Die oftmal werden zu Thränen gleich; Der Glaube leuchtet mit blauem Schein, Die Hoffnung schimmert smaragden drein; Und [aus]1 der Tiefe, wo's glühend loht, Da flammt die Liebe rubinenroth. Da zuckt der [goldene]2 Strahl der Lust, Daß laut es [klingt in meiner]3 Brust: In deinem Herzen da muß es sein So wie in einem Juwelenschrein!

Within thy heart
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Within thy heart oh! let it appear As in a jewel casket clear, Let longing glimmer as pearls do gleam, That oft-times like unto teardrops seem. Let faith shine forth with its bluish light, And hope blaze out like an em'rald bright, And in its depths like a ruby red, Love's flame shall sparkle and glow instead, Then rapture's golden ray shall swell, My bosom with its joyous spell. Within thy heart oh! let it appear As in a jewel casket clear.
