Erwachen aus dem tiefsten...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

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!

Éveillé du giron le plus profond du rêve

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Éveillé du giron le plus profond du rêve :
Comme si d'une longue réflexion confuse
Je me penchais sur les lèvres qui pâlirent.

-- Vous ne supporterez qu'une grande compassion !
Ne soyez ouvertes que pour remercier ceux qui vous sont dévoués --
Et celles que je touchaient alors avec un tel feu

Donnèrent leur réponse au-delà de mon espérance
Que les sens de celui qui hésitait encore cédèrent...
Oh, passage de minutes sublimes !
