Diese Wolken in den Höhen
Language:
German
Diese Wolken in den Höhen,
Dieser Vöglein muntrer Zug,
Werden dich, o Huldin, sehen.
Nehmt mich mit im leichten Flug!
Diese Weste werden spielen
Scherzend dir um Wang' und Brust,
In den seidnen Locken wühlen.
Teilt ich mit euch diese Lust!
Hin zu dir von jenen Hügeln
Emsig dieses Bächlein eilt.
Wird ihr Bild sich in dir spiegeln,
Fließ zurück dann unverweilt!

These clouds in the heights
Language:
English
These clouds in the heights,
These birds gaily passing,
Will see you, my beloved.
Take me with you on your light flight!
These west winds will play
Joking with you about your cheek and breast,
In the silky curls will dig.
I share with you this pleasure!
There to you from this hill
Busily, the little brook hurries.
If your image is reflected in it,
Flow back without delay!
