Lied eines Mädchens
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Du dunkle Sehnsucht meiner Tage,
Du meiner Nächte lichter Traum --
Ich blühe wie ein Frühlingsbaum
Voll Drängen, daß er Früchte trage.
Schon deckt die grünen Maienhage
Ein sonnenheller Blumensaum --
O meiner [Nächte]1 lichter Traum,
O dunkle Sehnsucht meiner Tage!

Toi, sombre langueur de mes jours
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Toi, sombre langueur de mes jours,
Toi, rêve léger de mes nuits
Je fleuris comme un arbre au printemps
Plein d'élans pour qu'il porte des fruits.
Déjà les vertes haies de mai sont couvertes
D'un ourlet de fleurs claires comme le soleil.
Ô rêve léger de ma langueur,
Ô sombre langueur de mes jours !
