Music: Max Reger, "Waldeinsamkeit", Op. 76 (Schlichte Weisen) No. 3
Text: from Frankish folksongs
Gestern abend in der stillen Ruh',
Sah ich im Wald einer Amsel zu;
Als ich da so sass,
Meiner ganz vergass:
Kommt mein Schatz und schleichet sich um mich
Und küsset mich.
So viel Laub als an der Linden ist
Und so viel tausendmal hat mich mein Schatz geküsst;
Denn ich muss gesteh'n,
Es hat's niemand geseh'n,
Und die Amsel soll mein Zeuge sein:
Wir war'n allein.
The quiet of the woods
Last evening in the peaceful quiet
I observed a blackbird in the wood;
As I was sitting there,
Quite obliviously,
My beloved steals up
And kisses me.
She gave me many thousands of kisses,
As many as there are leaves on the lime;
For I must admit,
No one saw,
And the blackbird shall be my witness—
We were alone.

가장 잘 알려진 곡은 아마도 No. 52, Maria Wiegenlied 이지 싶다.
