Schütte wieder ohne Wahl
Über mich die bleichen, großen
Lilien deiner Wiegenlieder,
Deiner Walzer rote Rosen.
Flicht darein den schweren Hauch
Deiner Liebe, die im Welken
Duft verstreut und deines Stolzes
Schaukelschlanke Feuernelken.

Without selection, scatter over me
Once more the pale, great
Lilies of your lullabies,
The red roses of your waltzes.
Weave therein the heavy breath
Of your love, which in wilting
Scatters scent and the slender,
Swinging fiery carnations of your pride.
