Seliges Vergessen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Im [Winde]1 fächeln, Mutter, die Blätter, Und bei dem Säuseln Schlummre ich ein. Über mir schwanken Und spielen die Winde, Wiegen so linde Das Schiff der Gedanken, Wie wenn ohne Schranken Der Himmel mir offen, Daß still wird mein Hoffen Und Frieden ich finde, Und bei dem Säuseln Schlummre ich ein. Erwachend dann sehe, Als ob sie mich kränzen, Rings Blumen ich glänzen, Und all meine Wehen Verschweben, vergehen, Der Traum hält sie nieder, Und Leben giebt wieder Das Flüstern der Blätter, Und bei dem Säuseln Schlummre ich ein.

Blessed oblivion
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In the [wind]1 flutter, Mother, the leaves, And to their rustling I fall asleep. Above me sway And play the winds, They rock so gently The ship of my thoughts, As if without barriers The heavens stood open for me, So that my hopes fall quiet And I find peace, And to the rustling I fall asleep. When I awaken I see, As if they were garlanding me, Flowers shining all around, And all my pains Dissipate, dissolve, The dream holds them down, And life is given anew By the whispering of the leaves, And to their rustling I fall asleep.
