Gedenken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und wieder schlägt die Drossel im Gezweig
Des Blütenbaumes [jubelnd über]1 mir;
Es öffnet sich des Lenzes Wunderreich,
Doch all mein Denken ist allein bei dir!
 
Von zartem Grün ist Baum und Busch belaubt.
Die Wonne all umher erdrückt mich schier;
Hier ruhte selig einst dein reines Haupt;
Ach, all mein Denken ist allein bei dir.
 
Geweiht von deinem Hauche Jahr um Jahr,
Für alle Zeit [ist]2 diese Stätte mir.
Vorbei der Traum, so rein, so wunderbar,
Doch all mein Denken ist allein bei dir!

A memory
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Once more the boughs are thick with bloom o'erhead;
The thrush is singing in the tree.
Spring's yearly miracle has come again,
But still my thoughts are all of thee, of thee.
 
A tender veil of green is ev'rywhere,
The fragrant charm of Spring is in the air;
Once, thou didst linger here, dear love with me,
Ah, all my thoughts are still of thee, of thee.
 
The mem'ry of thy presence, like a vow,
Doth hallow, year by year, this spot to me.
The dream, so pure, so sweet is over now!
But all my thoughts are still of thee, of thee.

From the Wurm score
