In einem Garten

In einem Garten, unter dunklen Bäumen,
erwarten wir die Frühlingsnacht.

Noch glänzt ein Stern;
aus dem Fenster, 
schwellend,
die Töne einer Geige...

Der Goldregen [blinkt]1, 
der Flieder duftet,
in unsren Herzen geht der Mond auf!

by Arno Holz (1863-1929) , "In einem Garten", from Phantasus

Deep in a garden

Deep in a garden all with blossoms teeming
we sit and wait for vernal night.

No star yet gleams, 
from the open window 
soft pleads 
a dulcet viol...

The soft air is scented 
with lilac odours;
our hearts awake to night's soft splendour!
