Flammenauge, dunkles Haar, Knabe wonnig und verwogen, Kummer ist durch dich hinein in mein armes Herz gezogen! Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand, sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren? Kann die heisse Menschenbrust atmen ohne Glutbegehren? Ist die Flur so voller Licht, daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe? Ist die Welt so voller Lust, daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

Vlammend' ogen, donker haar, Jongen, lief en onverschrokken, Kommer is door jou opeens In mijn arme hart getrokken! Kan in ijs de zonnebrand, Kan in nacht de dag verkeren? Kan een vuur'ge mensenborst Aad'men zonder vuurbegeren? Is het veld zo vol van licht Om de bloemen te verduist'ren? Is de wereld vol van lust Om het hart met pijn te teist'ren?
