Nachwirkung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

Sie ist gegangen, die Wonnen versanken,
Nun glühen die Wangen, nun rinnen die Thränen;
Es schwanken die kranken,
Die heißen Gedanken,
Es pocht das Herz in Wünschen und Sehnen.

Und hab' ich den Tag mit Andacht begonnen,
Tagüber gelebt in stillem Entzücken,
So leb' ich jetzt träumend,
Die Arbeit versäumend
Von dem, was sie schenkte in Worten und Blicken.

So hängen noch lang nach dem Scheiden des Tages
In [lenziger]¹ Nachtluft, beim säuselnden Winde,
Die [Bienlein]² wie trunken
Und wonneversunken
An zitternde Blüthen der duftigen Linde.

Répercussion

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Elle est partie, le bonheur est fini,
Maintenant mes joues brillent, maintenant mes larmes coulent,
Je chancelle avec des maladives
Et fiévreuses pensées.
Mon cœur bat d'envie et de désir ardent.

Et si j'avais commencé le jour dans la méditation,
Et si je vivais chaque jour dans un charme tranquille,
Maintenant je vis en rêvant,
Négligeant le travail,
À ce qu'elle a m'a accordé en mots et regards.

Ainsi sont suspendues longtemps après que le jour soit parti
Dans les brises de la nuit et les vents qui chuchotent
les abeilles comme enivrées
Et noyées dans le bonheur
Sur les fleurs tremblantes du tilleul parfumé.
