Original text and translations

English translation Translation by John Troutbeck

German text Die Haide ist voll Licht und Luft So sonntagseigen, Ein jedes Röslein hauchet Duft In Schweigen. Weithin kein Laut, die Biene nur Summt leise, leise, Die Lerche fliegt zur Himmelsflur Die Reise. Und nun die Glocken ferne, ferne So selig reden: Und rings um mich empor zum Herrn Ein Beten.
