Wedding Prayers and Meditation

We love people as we see them, not as they are. Our deepest seeing is where we love, blissfully blind as children, and may only understand each other with the heart. Knowledge itself is quickly wrapped up to walk with us in beautiful deceit. How rich the poverty that wastes the heart! How impoverished wealth when deceit turns around!

He chops his wood year in, year out, toils from the early morning. And she conquers a thousand big worries in the small house. In the evening the hot sweat drips down from his forehead. It dries gently, it gently dries the furrowed one again. They've had to worry like that for long, hard years. And nobody probably knew how happy they were.

Your Wedding Celebration

Awaken, lovely nightingales! Let your early songs ring! Love awakens you and me at the same time. Oh, if I were like you in everything! Alone, you sing the joys of love, but I sing its sorrows. How I envy you! I have no joy in this world, I have a treasure and it's far away, it's far away, it's not here. Oh, if I were with my darling! I can't sit and I can't stand, I have to go to my sweetheart.

To my darling, there I must go, And should I stand in front of the window. Who is outside, who is knocking? Who can wake me up so quietly. It's dearest yours, get up, get up and let me in! I won't get up, won't let you in until my parents are in bed. When my parents are in bed, I'll get up and let you in.

Wedding Ceremony

Why should I stand here any longer, I see the dawn rising. The dawn, two bright stars, with my darling, I would like to be there. So she got up and let him in, she also bids him welcome. She extends her snow-white hand to him, and then she begins to cry too. Don't cry, don't cry my little angel! For a year you shall be mine.

You shall certainly become mine, otherwise there is no one on earth. I'm going to war on green Haid, green Haid that's so far from here where the beautiful trumpets blow. There is my house of green lawn. I'll have a little picture painted for me, I'll carry it here on my heart. That's what you should be dedicated to, that I'll never forget you.
