Schnell fliehen die Schatten der Nacht, hell blühen die Matten in Pracht, hoch rauschet der Wald in dem Glanze, still lauschet ihm heimlich die Pflanze im blütenverklärenden Tauen, wie selig, den Morgen zu schauen. Was fehlt noch dem goldenen Raum? Komm, Liebchen, erfülle den Traum, mein Lied tönt in wonnigem Rauschen, o komm, wie die Blume zu lauschen, es will dich mein liebendes Sehnen betauen mit seligen Tränen.

Vite s'enfuient les ombres de la nuit, Les tapis de fleurs s'éclaircissent en toute splendeur, La forêt élève son murmure dans tout cet éclat, Silencieuse, la plante l'écoute en secret Dans la rosée qui éclaircit les fleurs, Quelle bénédiction de contempler le matin ! Que manque t-il encore dans cet univers doré ? Viens, ma bien aimée, accomplis le rêve, Mon chant se teint de murmures heureux, Oh viens, comme pour écouter les fleurs, Mon désir ardent veut te faire fondre Sous des larmes de joie.
