Die Knospe träumte von Sonnenschein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Knospe träumte von Sonnenschein, Vom Rauschen der Blätter im grünen Hain, Von der Quelle melodischem Wogenfall, Von süssen Tönen der Nachtigall, [Und]1 von den Lüften, die kosen und schaukeln, [Und]1 von den Düften, die schmeicheln und gaukeln. Und als die Knospe zur Ros' erwacht, Da hat sie [mild]2 durch Tränen gelacht Und hat geschaut und hat gelauscht, Wie's leuchtet und klingt, Wie's duftet und rauscht. Als all ihr Träumen nun wurde wahr, Da hat sie vor süssem Staunen gebebt Und leis geflüstert: Ist mir's doch gar, Als hätt ich [das]3 alles schon einmal erlebt.

The bud was dreaming of sunshine
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The bud was dreaming of sunshine, Of the rustling of leaves in the greenwood, Of the stream's melodious purling, Of the nightingale's sweet singing, Of the breeze's carressing and lulling, Of the scents beguiling in passing. And when the bud awoke as a rose, She laughed gently through her tears And looked about her and listened - Took in the light and the sounds, The scents and the bustle. As all her dreams now came to be, She thrilled in sweet wondrous awe And whispered quietly, "It seems to me, As if I'd experienced all this before."
