Erwachen aus dem tiefsten traumes-schooße:
Als ich von langer spiegelung betroffen
Mich neigte auf die lippen die erblichen
- Ertragen sollet ihr nur mitleidgroße!
Seid nur aus dank den euch geweihten offen -
Und die berührten dann in solchen gluten
Die antwort gaben wider höchstes hoffen
Daß dem noch zweifelnden die sinne wichen
O rinnen der glückseligen minuten!

Awaking from the thrall of deepest dreams
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Awaking from the thrall of deepest dreams
As if from long reflection,
he leant' to the pale lips.
Offering her only great tenderness.
She gratefully responded to his ardor
And they embraced then with such passion,
She offered answers against highest hopes
That he, still doubting, yielded to.
O how the blissful minutes flow!
