Verliebt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Schilt mich nicht, [du]1 strenger Meister,
Daß im Diwan ich geträumet
Und bei des Muezzins Rufen,
Ach, nach [Mittag]2 stand gewendet.
Wisse, als ich kam vom Bade,
Als ich heimging [aus]3 den Gärten,
Schlüpfte Zillah mir vorüber,
Und den Schleier hob sie schalkhaft.

In love
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Do not chide me, [you]1 stern master,
That I dreamed away the time in the divan
And when the cry of the muezzin rang out,
Stood turned toward the [south]2.
Know that when I returned from my bath,
When I went homeward from the gardens,
Zillah slipped past me
And roguishly lifted her veil.
