Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Liebe ist ein süsses Licht.

Wie die Erde strebt zur Sonne,

Und zu jenen hellen Sternen

In den weiten blauen Fernen,

Strebt das Herz nach Liebeswonne:

Denn sie ist ein süsses Licht.

Sieh! wie hoch in stiller Feier

Droben helle Sterne funkeln:

von der Erde fliehn die dunkeln

Schwermutsvollen trüben Schleier.

Wehe mir, wie so trübe

Fühl ich tief mich im Gemüte,

Das in Freuden sonst erblühte,

Nun vereinsamt, ohne Liebe.

Love is a sweet light.

Just as the earth aches for the sun

and those bright stars

in the distant blue expanses,

so the heart aches for love’s bliss,

for love is a sweet light.

See, high in the silent solemnity,

bright stars glitter up above:

from the earth flee the dark

heavy baleful mists.

Alas! Yet how sad I feel

deep in my soul;

once I brimmed with joy;

now I am abandoned, unloved

Heil’ge Nacht, du sinkest nieder;

Nieder wallen auch die Träume,

Wie dein Mondlicht durch die Räume,

Durch der Menschen stille Brust.

Die belauschen sie mit Lust;

Rufen, wenn der Tag erwacht:

Kehre wieder, heil’ge Nacht!

Holde Träume, kehret wieder!

Holy night, you sink down;

dreams, too, float down,

like your moonlight through space,

through the silent hearts of men.

They listen with delight,

crying out when day awakes:

come back, holy night!

Fair dreams, return!

When the boy is singing, the voice is high pitched, portraying the youth voice of the boy. When the man is singing, a low voice is heard, portraying the deep voice of the man. The Elfking's voice is high pitched, referencing the idea of trying to appear sweet and persuasive. An example of this is at bar 37, where the father says "Mein Sohn, was bright du so bang din Geshict?" At this bar, we can see a voice in a low pitch compared to the boy. An example of the boy singing high is from bar 123 where the boy says, "Mein Vater, Mein Vater", portraying the youthful voice of the boy. The horse is reflected throughout the music through the use of the triplets heard throughout the liede.

The triplets heard in bar 2 are played at 'forte', reflecting the voice of the father. Heard in bar 4, this pattern is repeated at a 'piano' dynamic, reflecting the voice of the boy.
