Original text and translations
German text
Dein Herzlein mild, du liebes Bild, |
English translation
Thou gentle girl as fair as pearl, |
English translation (alternate)
Thy mild heart, sweet image,
has not yet lighted up.
Inside, a dreamy glow lies dormant,
which will soon manifest itself.
The night has brought dew
to all buds in the woods,
and in the morning, a sea of blossom
spreads its fragrance across the slope.
Tender love has, through the night,
poured dew into the heart
and in the morning, behold,
the little bud has flourished.
