German text
- Im schönsten Garten wallten zwei Buhlen Hand in Hand,
- zwei kranke bleiche Gestalten,
- sie sassen in Blumenland.
- Sie küssten sich auf die Wangen,
- sie küssten sich auf den Mund,
- sie hielten sich fest umschlungen,
- und wurden jung und gesund,
- sie hielten sich fest umschlungen,
- sie wurden jung und gesund.
- Zwei Glöcklein klangen helle,
- der Traum verschwand zur Stund',
- sie lag in der Klosterzelle, er fern in des Turmes Grund.
English translation
- There walked within a garden two lovers hand in hand,
- two ashen delicate creatures, they sat in the flowers' land.
- They kissed and their arms enfolded,
- they kissed so, despite their pain, embracing,
- and in their rapture becoming strong once again, embracing,
- and in their rapture becoming strong once again.
- Two bells rang out, all dreaming to vanish at their sound,
- she lay in the convent's deepest cell, his grave in the tower's ground.
