Liebeslied

Kniend im Staube lieg ich vor dir, 
Du bist mein Glaube und mein Brevier. 
Du bist mein Lieben, du bist mein Hort, 
Mein Hoffen drüben. Mein Himmel dort. 

Bist meine Wahrheit und bist mein Traum. 
Bist die Erkenntnis in Zeit und Raum. 
Du bist das Gute, das Ding an sich. 
Du bist die Schönheit. Ich liebe dich.

Chant d'amour

À genoux dans la poussière, je suis devant toi,
Tu es ma foi et mon bréviaire.
Tu es mon amour, tu es mon trésor;
Mon espoir de l'autre côté. Mon ciel là-bas.

Tu es ma vérité et tu es mon rêve.
Tu es la connaissance dans le temps et l'espace.
Tu es la bonté, l'être lui-même.
Tu es la beauté. Je t'aime.
