Dein ist mein Herz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Aus jedem Sterne der am Himmel blinkt,
Aus jeder Blume die am Stengel winkt,
Aus jedem klaren Bächlein lacht: Dein Bild!
Und schaut mich liebend an und freundlich mild . . .
Dein ist mein Herz!

Wohl schau ich nach dem fernen Westen hin,
Wohin die hellen Wolken eilend ziehn,
Es eilt die Zeit, Ach seh' ich Dich wieder?
Und Sehnsucht feuchtet mir den trüben Blick! . .
Dein bleibt mein Herz!

My heart is yours

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

From every star that winks upon the sky,
From every flower that beckons on its stem,
From every clear brooklet smiles:  your image!
And gazes upon me lovingly and with kind gentleness . . .
My heart is yours!

I may well look toward the far west,
Whither the bright clouds scud so quickly,
Time hastens; ah, shall I see you again?
And yearning moistens my gloomy eye! . . .
My heart remains yours!
