Muß immer dein gedenken

Available translation(s): ENG
Muß immer dein gedenken,
Ich träum' von dir die Nacht,
Wenn sich die Wimpern senken,
Und wenn das Licht erwacht.
Du, Rose mit weichen Düften,
Von ihm doch hauchest du?
Ich sende mit den Lüften
Allstund' ihm Grüße zu.
Ob er sie wol verstehet
Im Leben ohn Ruh'?
Was ich für ihn erflehet,
Mein Gott, erhöre du!

I must always think of you
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I must always think of you,
I dream of you at night,
When my eyelashes sink down
And when light wakens.
You, rose with soft scents,
Do you breathe to me of him?
With the breezes I send
Greetings to him every hour.
I wonder if he understands them
In his life without rest?
That which I have pleaded for him,
My God, may Thou grant it!
