Sing on, there in the swamp!
O singer bashful and tender, [I hear your notes, I hear your call.
I hear.]1 I come [presently,]1 I understand you,
But a moment I linger, for [the lustrous star has detain'd me,]1
The star, my departing comrade, holds and detains me.

O, nun heb du an, dort in deinem Moor
Language:
German
O, nun heb du an, dort in deinem Moor,
Lieber scheuer Sänger! Ich höre dein Lied,
ich vernehme deinen Ruf! Ich höre; ich bin da;
Ich verstehe dich.
Einen Augenblick nur säumte ich.
Weil der glänzende Stern mich zurückhielt;
Der Stern, mein scheidender Gefährte
machte mich säumen.
