German text

Rosen brach ich nachts mir am dunklen Hage;
Süßer hauchten Duft sie, als je am Tage,
Doch verstreuten reich die bewegten Äste
Tau, der mich näßte.

Auch der Küsse Duft mich wie nie berückte,
Die ich nachts vom Strauch deiner Lippen pflückte:
Doch auch dir, bewegt im Gemüt gleich jenen
Tauten die Tränen.

English translation

Roses culled by night from the hedges darkling,
Sweeter are than those when the day is sparkling;
As the boughs above me the breeze was swaying,
Dew gently spraying.

Thus thy kisses sweet on my cheeks were falling
From thy lips by night, dew and flow'r recalling!
For from eyes, the soul's emotion showing,
Tear drops were flowing!
