Ständchen

Soft plead my songs
Across the night to you,
In the quiet grove here below,
Beloved, come to me!
Whispered slender treetops rustle
In the moon’s light;
Of the traitorous enemy listening
Be not afraid, my dear.

Do you hear the nightingale [wings] beating?
Ah! They plead to you,
With tone sweetly ring
Pleading for me.
They understand the heart’s longing,
They know love’s pain,
They calm with silver tones
Every tender heart.

Let also your heart be moved,
Beloved, hear me!
Trembling I wait ever for you,
Come, make me happy!
