Als über den Flieder das Mondlicht rann

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Als über den Flieder das Mondlicht rann,
Da steckt' er mir heimlich ein Ringlein an,
Und küßte den Ring und die Hand dazu
Und lauschte selig dem ersten "Du".
Das Mondenlicht sah in den Ring hinein,
Das gab einen fröhlichen, hellen Schein,
Der Fliederbaum neigte die Blüten stumm,
Die Gräser raunten: "Das Glück geht um!"

Quand la lune courait au dessus du lilas
Il me passa en cachette un petit anneau
Et embrassa l'anneau et aussi la main
Et épia avec bonheur le premier "Tu ".
Le clair de lune, se reflétant dans l'anneau
Produisait un éclat clair et joyeux,
Le lilas inclinait silencieusement ses fleurs,
Les herbes murmuraient : « Il y a du bonheur par ici ! ».
