Gestern war ich Atlas, der den Himmel trug, Als der Liebsten Herz auf meinem Busen schlug; Ihrer Augen Sonnen kreisten über mir Und wie Äther spielt um mich ihr Atemzug. O zieh den Liebesknoten fester zu noch! So lang ich athme fand ich keine Ruh' noch. Laß mich in dir ausathmen! Mir fehlt etwas, So lang ich etwas andres bin als du noch. Mir ist dein Kuß je länger, je lieber, Dein Arm ist mir je länger, je lieber, Zwar macht dein Kuß, der lange, mir bange, Mir [aber ist]1 je bänger, je lieber.

Ahir jo era Atlas que portava el cel quan el cor de l’estimada bategava al meu pit; el sol dels seus ulls girava damunt meu i, com l’èter, el seu alè jugava al meu entorn. Oh, lliga encara més fort el nus de l’amor! Tant de temps com respiri no trobaré cap repòs. Deixa’m exhalar en tu! Quelcom em manca mentre no sóc altra cosa que tu. Per a mi, el teu bes quan més llarg millor, la teva abraçada quan més llarga millor, certament el teu llarg bes em neguiteja, però per a mi, quan més neguitós millor.
