The Schiller poem:

Liebe rauscht der Silberbach,
 Liebe lehrt ihn sanfter wallen,
 Seele haucht sie in das Ach
 Klagenreicher Nachtigallen -
 Liebe Liebe lispelt nur 
 Auf der Laute der Natur



Weisheit mit dem Sonnenblick,
 Große Göttin tritt zurück,
 Weiche vor der Liebe.
 Nie Erobrern, Fürsten nie
 Beugtest du ein Sklavenknie,
 Beug' es itzt der Liebe. 

(singing translation by David W Solomons)

Silver brook resounds with love
Love then teaches it to soften
Breathing soul into the cry
of lamenting nightingales
Love, love whispering only the
Sound of nature. 

Wisdom with sun that- glances,
Wisdom great goddess
Go- ye back and yield before love
Never bend your knee to princes
Nor bow as slave to conquerers
Bow now to love.
