Ich bin die Blum' im Garten, Und muß in Stille warten, Wann und in welcher Weise Du trittst in meine Kreise. Kommst du, ein Strahl der Sonne, So werd' ich deiner Wonne Den Busen still entfalten Und deinen Blick behalten. Kommst du als Tau und Regen, So werd' ich deinen Segen In Liebesschalen fassen, Ihn nicht versiegen lassen. Und fährtest du gelinde Hin über mich im Winde, So werd' ich dir mich neigen, Sprechend: Ich bin dein eigen. Ich bin die Blum' im Garten, Und muß in Stille warten, Wann und in welcher Weise Du trittst in meine Kreise.

Je suis la fleur dans le jardin, Et je dois attendre en silence, Sans savoir de quelle manière Tu entreras dans mon cercle. Si tu viens comme un rayon de soleil, Alors grâce à tes délices, J'ouvrirai calmement mon cœur Et je garderai souvenir de ton regard. Si tu viens comme la rosée et la pluie, Alors je recueillerai ta bénédiction Dans un calice d'amour Que je ne laisserai pas tarir. Et si doucement tu passais Au-dessus de moi dans le vent, Alors je m'inclinerais En disant: je suis toute à toi. Je suis la fleur dans le jardin, Et je dois attendre en silence, Sans savoir de quelle manière Tu entreras dans mon cercle.
