Stille Zeit

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Die Tage rinnen leise hin . . .
Ein jeder bringt ein liebes Glück
Und eine liebe Sorge mit,
Und schau ich so den Weg zurück,
Den ich mit dir gegangen bin,
Da will es mir fast bange werden
Um so viel Seligkeit auf Erden. --

Heures calmes

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

Les jours s'écoulent sans bruit ...
L'un apporte un doux bonheur
Et l'autre une douce peine,
Et si je regarde en arrière le chemin
Que j'ai parcouru avec toi,
Je suis presque effrayée
Par tant de félicité sur terre.
