Ihr Blumen alle habt geplaudert Von Assim's Lieb' und Liebesschwüren, Von Augentrost und Mundverführen, Und von [den Lippen]1, die geschaudert, Weil Assim's Liebe nie gezaudert. Ihr [Blumen, dir ihr duftgesegnet, Im Garten prangt, o]2 fragt die Quelle. Dort, wo den Marmor küsst die Welle, Wie oft es Thränenzorn geregnet, Weil Assim's Gluth dem Stolz begegnet. [Und fragt den Lorbeer hoch und prächtig]3, Wie rasch der Thränenzorn versiegte, Der Stolz sich in die Fessel schmiegte, Weil Assims Siegermuth allmächtig. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Dem Lorbeer [gleichet Assim, dächt' ich]4!

Ye flowers have all prattled About Assim’s love and vows of love, About the comfort of eyes and seduction of mouth, And of [lips]1 that shuddered Because Assim's love never hesitated. Ye [flowers who, blessed with scent, Stand resplendent in the garden, oh]2 ask the water-spring. There where the marble is kissed by the wave, [Ask] how often tears of rage rained down, Because Assim's ardour encountered pride. [And ask the laurel high and stately]3, How quickly the tears of rage dried up, [How quickly] pride nestled into the chains, Because Assim's victorious courage is almighty. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- [Assim is like the laurel, I would think]4!
1 Rheinberger: "the lip"
2 Rheinberger: "flowers all, blessed with scent, / Standing resplendent in the garden,"
3 Rheinberger: "Oh ask the laurel high and mighty"
4 Rheinberger: "Like the laurel, high and stately."
