Die Tauben gurren auf der Schloßterrasse, Verschlafen streicht der heiße Mittagswind, Die Lust ist schwer von Sonnenschein, -- nun lasse Mir deinen Mund, schwarzhaarig Südlandskind. Die Tauben gurren und die Tauben fliegen, Die Rosen blühn -- dies ist der Kypris Hain, Ich seh' das Leuchten deine Stirn umschmiegen -- Du bist die Göttin selber -- und bist mein.
