Wenn's im Thal zu Abend läutet Und es kommt die Dämmerzeit, Wo durchs Feld ein Wandrer schreitet: Süße Frau, dann sei bereit! Denn zu dir kommt [der]1 gegangen, Der in dir nur schafft und ruht; Wanderglut deckt seine Wangen Und sein Herz füllt Minneglut! Aber du sollst inne werden, Wie dies Herz an dir erblüht -- Sonnwendnacht webt um die Erden Und des Wandrers Auge glüht. Die verschwiegnen Sterne leuchten Und sein Haar bedeckt der Thau; Und in Wonne wird sich feuchten Deine Wange -- süße Frau!

Quand dans la vallée on appelle pour le soir, Et que vient l'heure du crépuscule Si dans le champ marche un voyageur : Alors chère femme, sois prête ! Car il vient à toi, Celui qui en toi crée et se repose ; Le feu de la marche couvre ses joues Et son cœur est empli des feux de l'amour. Mais tu dois te rendre compte Combien ce cœur s'épanouit près de toi. La nuit de solstice enveloppe la terre Et les yeux du voyageur luisent. Les étoiles brillent discrètement Et la rosée couvre ses cheveux ; Et de ravissement vont s'humecter Tes joues -- chère femme !
