Through high church windows (Tiedemann, set by Berta Bock) (The LiederNet Archive: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)
Durch hohe Kirchenfenster
Durch hohe Kirchenfenster flutet hell und klar
Ein Strahl umflimmert golden meiner Liebsten Haar
Und Angesicht.
Sie selber hält in frommer Andacht tief gesenkt,
Das junge Haupt;
Ob ihr der Himmel gnädig wohl den Frieden schenkt,
Den sie mir raubt?

Through high church windows
Through high church windows sunlight floods
Brightly and clearly,
Golden, a sunbeam flickers about the hair of my beloved
And about her face.
She herself holds her young head deeply bowed
In pious worship,
I wonder if Heaven shall mercifully grant her the peace
That she steals from me?
