Das Rosenband ('Im Frühlingsschatten fand ich sie'), song for voice & piano (or orchestra), Op. 36/1
"I found her lying in the spring sun
and bound her fast with a rose garland;
all unaware she slumbered on.
I gazed on her, our lives were bound one to the other.
I sensed it, yet I knew it not.
I murmured wordlessly to her,
and made the garland of roses rustle.
She woke from sleep; she looked at me;
with that look our lives were bound together,
and all around was paradise."
