Original text and translations
English text
May no rash intruder disturb their soft hours
To form fragrant pillows, arise, oh ye flowr’s,
Ye zephirs, soft-breathing, their slumbers prolong,
While nightingales lull them to sleep with their song.
German text
Nie trüb’ euch ein Unhold den Frieden bei Nacht!
Schwellt duftend ihr Lager, o Blumen voll Pracht,
Umweht sie, Zephyre, mit lindem Umfang,
Ihr Nachtigallen lullt sie in Schlummer mit Sang.
