O blühende Heide, welken wirst du...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

O blühende Heide, welken wirst du müssen! 
Du Sternenantlitz, mußt du auch vergehn? 
Es gäb ein andres Glück als dich zu küssen, 
Und andre Wünsche als dich anzusehn? 
Ihr Seelenaugen, warmes Licht der Liebe, 
Erlöschen sollt ihr? nie mehr widerspiegeln 
Die goldne Bläue über diesen Hügeln? 
Du wärst dahin, und Erd und Himmel bliebe?

Ô bruyère fleurie, tu devras faner !

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Ô bruyère fleurie, tu devras faner !
Et toi figure d'étoile, dois-tu aussi disparaître ?
Y aurait-il un autre bonheur que de t'embrasser,
Et d'autres désirs que de te regarder ?
Vous, yeux de l'âme, chaude lumière de l'amour,
Devez-vous vous éteindre ? Ne plus jamais refléter
L'azur doré au dessus de ces collines ?
Tu pourrais passer et le ciel et la terre rester ?
