L'aube blanche dit à mon rêve
Language: French (Français)
L'aube blanche dit à mon rêve:
"Éveille-toi, le soleil luit".
Mon âme écoute et je soulève
Un peu mes paupières vers lui.
Un rayon de lumière touche
La pâle fleur de mes yeux bleus;
Une flamme éveille ma bouche,
Un souffle éveille mes cheveux.
Et mon âme, comme une rose
Tremblante, lente, tout le jour,
S'éveille à la beauté des choses,
Comme mon [cœur]1 à leur amour.
Il n'est rien qui ne m'émerveille !
Et je dis en mon rire d'or :
Je suis une enfant qui s'éveille
Jusqu'au moment où Dieu l'endort.

Der weiße Morgendämmer
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Der weiße Morgendämmer sagt im Traume mir:
„Wach auf, die Sonne strahlt.“
Mein Herz horcht auf und leicht
heb’ ich die Lider.
Ein Lichtstrahl trifft
die blasse Blume meiner blauen Augen;
ein Sonnenstrahl weckt meinen Mund,
ein Lufthauch weckt mein Haar.
Und meine Seel’, der Rose gleich
erwacht sie schauernd, ohne Hast an jedem Morgen
und öffnet sich der Dinge Schönheit,
so wie mein Herz sich ihrer Liebe öffnet.
Nichts gibt es, was mich nicht entzückt!
Ich sag’s mit gold’nem Lachen:
Ich bin ein Kind, welches sich regt
bis Gott es schlafen legt.
