Waldesrauschen

Language: German

Sonnenlicht fällt durch dunkles Grün,
wie goldblonde Locken.
Ich höre in meinem Herzen tief
viel klingende Glocken.

Sommerwind rausch durch den schwülen Wald
heimlich und leise,
In meinem klingenden Herzen erwacht
eine bange, bange Weise:

Liebe, Liebe, das ewige Lied 
voll Jubel und Thränen,
füllt die schauernde Seele mir
mit Jubel und Thränen.

Magic of the woods

Language: English

Sunny light gleams through greenwood trees,
Like bright golden ringlets;
I hear in my heart of hearts so deep
Sweet bells softly chiming.

Summer winds whisper through greenwood leaves,
Silently sighing;
Their sound awakes in the depth of my soul
Such a wondrous, anxious longing!

Love, love, a song eternal!
Thy rapture, thy sadness. 
Fill my heart and my soul anew
With rapture and sadness.


From the Van der Stucken score.
