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!

Song of a maiden
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You dark longing of my days,
You bright dream of my nights --
I blossom like a springtime tree
Full of surging to bear fruit.
Already the green hedges of May are covered
By a sunlit border of flowers --
Oh bright dream of my [nights]1,
Oh dark longing of my days!
