Text Translation

Sung in German
The trees are rustling, sweet scents rise and a tender breeze
Surrounds our dreams with a bridal touch.
We walk and celebrate in a familiar embrace,
We celebrate and sing and our echo carries.
Blissful sounds and scents and shimmers,
O holy unity – close in on us softly, softly.

Hello! Hello! How funny it carries through green and night.
Fresh as the air is our thought and happily awake with the
Singing bird is man, free of constraints.
How it shimmers and laughs.

Still! Still! Do not let loud calls disturb the holy celebration,
Let us sing and listen, create how nature has created.
Quiet, wise, approach the circle, come!

Yes, we’re coming, overcome by the holy power of stillness.

So stay peacefully connected because God has brought you here.
And you shall feel together what each individual has thought.
—Wilhelm Hensel
