Es [tönt]1 ein voller Harfenklang
Den Lieb' und Sehnsucht schwellen,
Er dringt zum Herzen tief und bang
Und läßt das Auge quellen.
O rinnet, Tränen, nur herab,
O schlage Herz, mit Beben!
Es sanken Lieb' und Glück ins Grab,
Verloren ist [mein]2 Leben!

The full sound of harps rings out
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The full sound of harps rings out,
swelling one with love and yearning;
it pierces one to the heart, deeply and anxiously,
and leaves the eyes streaming.
O run, my tears, stream down;
o pound, my heart, and quiver!
Love and Happiness are buried in the grave;
lost is my life!
