Nun ziehen Tage über die Welt, Gesandt aus blauer Ewigkeit, Im Sommerwind verweht die Zeit. Nun windet nächtens der Herr Sternenkränze mit seliger Hand Über Wander- und Wunderland. O Herz, was kann in diesen Tagen Dein hellstes Wanderlied denn sagen Von deiner tiefen, tiefen Lust: Im Wiesensang verstummt die Brust, Nun schweigt das Wort, wo Bild um Bild Zu dir zieht und dich ganz erfüllt.

Now the days drag through the world, sent forth from blue eternity; time dissipates in the summer wind. Now at night the Lord weaves with blessed hand wreaths of stars above the wandering wonderland. In these days, o my heart, what can your brightest wanderer's song then say about your deep, deep pleasure? In meadowsong the heart falls silent; now there are no words, and image upon image visits you and fills you entirely.
