Here is the original German text:

Mir ist, als müßt' ich dir was sagen,
Als wollte dir mein Herz was klagen,
Mein tiefster Sinn bewegt sich,
Mit jeder Regung lieb' ich dich!

Mir ist, al müßt' ich zu dir eilen,
Als Pilger dir zu Füßen weilen,
Von meiner Sehnsucht heilen mich,
Und, ach, nur sehnen und lieben dich!

Mein Herz will bei dir Ruhe haben,
Mein' Auge sich an dir nur laben,
Und Herz und Auge ergießen sich,
Mit vielen Tränen lieb' ich dich!

Here is an English translation:

It is as if I must tell you something--
As if my heart would lament to you;
My deepest soul is stirred;
With every impulse I love you!

It is as if I must hasten to you
And linger at your feet as a pilgrim--
To cure myself of my longing
And, ah, just to see you and to love you!

My heart longs to find peace beside you,
Mine eyes to refresh themselves only on you;
My heart and eyes pour forth my emotions;
With many tears I love you!
