Hohe Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE SPA
In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken,
Des Lebens Früchte winken euch;
Ein Blick nur ist auf mich gesunken,
Doch bin ich vor euch allen reich.
Das Glück der Erde miss ich gerne
Und blick, ein Märtyrer, hinan,
Denn über mir in goldner Ferne
Hat sich der Himmel aufgetan.
Note: some lines of this poem were used in Zanettovich's Lied (mond - nacht - liebes - traum - lied)

Amour sublime
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Vous reposez enivrés dans les bras de l'amour,
Les fruits de la vie vous appellent ;
Un seul regard est tombé sur moi,
Et pourtant je suis plus riche que vous tous.
Je me passe volontiers des joies terrestres
Et, martyr, je regarde vers le firmament,
Car au-dessus de moi, dans le lointain doré,
Le ciel s'est ouvert.
