by Joseph Viktor von Scheffel (1826 - 1886)

Sic liceret te amare
Language: Latin 
   ... und sag ir uz getrüwem mut 
   früntschaft, lieb und alles gut, 
   von wunsch ir dazu liebes mê 
   denn trophen hab der Bodemsê.  
       --Liedersaal I, 96.

Sic liceret te amare 
ad Suevorum magnum mare 
sponsam te perducerem 
stat nigerrimi basaltis 
mons et arx, cuius sub altis 
muris te reconderem.

Gloribundus citharoedus 
gratum celebrarem foedus 
cantans ut luscinia: 
heia gaudium, tecum stare 
in fenestris et monstrare 
patriae confinia:

»Ecce pagum iuxta papum, 
aurispledens, ingens, vagum 
aequor, en, podamioum ... 
fortes prope ripas nati 
cognomento non irati 
leporum lacustrium.«

Sed iam tace, cantilena; 
desideria tam serena 
clam fovisse satis est... 
rudi doctam adorare, 
doctae rudem educare 
eheu! non in fatis est!

Dolor animam infestat, 
desperanti nihil restat 
nisi vanum somnium ... 
O Viola byzantina, 
have, stella peregrina, 
dulcitudo omnium!
