Im Waldesweben ist es Ruh, Die [Veiglein thun]1 die Augen zu, Der Drossel letzter Sang verhallt -- -- Und nur wir Zwei sind noch im Wald! Es dämmert leis -- feucht fällt der Thau, Feucht ist dein Aug', du schöne Frau, [Und]2 Alles stumm - kein Laut erschallt -- -- Und nur wir Zwei sind noch im Wald! Mir graut, mir graut, du süße Fee, Vor all' der Schönheit, die ich seh', Mein Herz so heiß, dein Herz so kalt -- -- Und nur wir Zwei sind noch im Wald!

Tout est repos dans le bercement de la forêt Les petits oiseaux ferment leurs yeux, Le dernier chant de la grive retentit Et seuls nous deux sommes encore dans la forêt ! Le crépuscule avance doucement, la rosée tombe, humide, Tes yeux, belle femme, sont humides. Tout est silencieux -- aucun son ne s'élève Et seuls nous deux sommes encore dans la forêt ! Je frémis d'horreur, je frémis d'horreur,toi, douce fée, Toute la beauté que je vois, Mon cœur si brûlant, ton cœur si froid -- Et seuls nous deux sommes encore dans la forêt !
