Maimond über dem Dach, Maimond sieht in das Haus, Golden stehen die Scheiben, Sehnsucht leuchtet heraus. Draußen Blatt bei Blatt Schlafen dunkel die Bäume, Drinnen unter dem Dach Liegt die Liebe wach. Schwüre glühen im Dunkel, Funkeln hinaus in die Nacht.

Měsíc nad štíty střech, měsíc vokna se smál; zlatým zalil je proudem, touha zasvitla v dál. Venku teplá noc, dávno usnuly stromy, uvnitř ve stínu zdí bílá láska bdí. Přísah žár září temnem, blýská dál v teplou noc.
