O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose!
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose!
Wie wenn die Sonne triumphierend sich
Hebt über Sterne, die am Himmel stunden,
Ein Schimmer nach dem andern leis' erblich,
Bis alle sind in einen Glanz geschwunden;
So hab' ich, Liebste, dich
Gefunden:
Du kamst, da war, was je mein Herz empfunden,
Geschwunden
In dich.
O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose!
Wie wenn des Meeres Arme aufthun sich
Den Strömen, die nach ihnen sich gewunden,
Hinein sich diese stürzen brünstiglich,
Bis sie die Ruh im tiefen Schooß gefunden;
So, Liebste, hab' ich dich
Empfunden:
Sich hat mein Herz mit allen Sehnsuchtswunden
Entbunden
In dich.
O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose!
Wie wenn im Frühling tausendfältig sich
Ein buntes Grün hat ringend losgewunden,
Ein hadernd Volk, bis Rose, königlich
Eintretend, es zum Kranz um sich verbunden;
So, Liebste, hab' ich dich
Umwunden:
Der Kranz des Daseyns muss sich blühend runden,
Gebunden
In dich.

Ô soleil, Ô mer, Ô rose !
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ô soleil, Ô mer, Ô rose !
Pareil au soleil triomphant quand
Il se lève au‑dessus des étoiles du ciel,
Et qu'une lueur après l'autre doucement blêmit,
Jusqu'à ce que toutes disparaissent dans l'éclairement,
Ainsi, ma bien‑aimée,
Je t'ai trouvée :
Tu vins, j'étais là, et, touché
Mon cœur s'est évanoui
En toi.
Ô soleil, Ô mer, Ô rose !
Pareil aux bras de la mer qui s'ouvrent
Aux fleuves qui vers elle ont serpenté
Et s'y précipitent avec désir
Jusqu'à trouver le repos au plus profond de son sein,
Ainsi, ma bien‑aimée,
Je t'ai ressentie :
Avec toutes les blessures de la nostalgie
Mon cœur a cherché à se disperser
En toi,
Ô soleil, Ô mer, Ô rose !
Pareil au vert du printemps, mille fois replié
Qui a lutté pour libérer un peuple querelleur,
Jusqu'à ce que, royale, la rose,
Entrant, le rassemble autour de sa couronne,
Ainsi, ma bien‑aimée,
Je t'ai enlacée :
La rayonnante couronne de la vie doit s'épanouir,
Liée
À toi.
