Original text and translations

English text There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass, Or night-dews on still waters between walls Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes; Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. Here are cool mosses deep, And thro' the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep,

German translation Musik gibt’s hier, so süß, die sanfter fällt als Rosenblütenblätter auf den Rasen; als zwischen Granitmauern unter Schatten, der Nachttau fällt auf unberührtes Wasser. Musik, die sanfter liegt auf dem Gemüt, als müde Augenlider auf den Augen; Musik, aus wonnigen Himmeln süßen Schlaf bringend. Durch Moose, kühl und tief allmählich der Efeu hinkriecht im Bach der Blumen langer Blätter weinen; vom felsigen Vorsprung hängt schlafend die Mohnblume.
