Wagner: Wesendonk Lieder - Five Poems for Female Voice, WWV91 - 1. Der Engel

(original)
In der Kindheit frühen Tagen
Hört ich oft von Engeln sagen
Die des Himmels hehre Wonne
Tauschen mit der Erdensonne
Daß, wo bang ein Herz in Sorgen
Schmachtet vor der Welt verborgen
Daß, wo still es will verbluten
Und vergehn in Tränenfluten
Daß, wo brünstig sein Gebet
Einzig um Erlösung fleht
Da der Engel niederschwebt
Und es sanft gen Himmel hebt
Ja, es stieg auch mir ein Engel nieder
Und auf leuchtendem Gefieder
Führt er, ferne jedem Schmerz
Meinen Geist nun himmelwärts!
(translation)
In childhood early days
I often hear it said of angels
Heaven's sublime bliss
Exchange with the earth sun
That where a heart bangs in sorrows
languishes hidden from the world
That where still it wants to bleed to death
And perish in torrents of tears
That where fervent his prayer
Only pleads for salvation
As the angel levitates down
And lifts it gently to the sky
Yes, an angel also descended for me
And on glowing plumage
He leads, far from all pain
My spirit now heavenward!
