Nur ein lächelnder Blick von deinem strahlendem Auge! Und [von freudigem]1 Licht fühl' ich mich innerst erhellt. [Also]2 erheitert am nebligten Tag' ein freundlicher Strahl uns, Wenn den düsteren Flor plötzlich die Sonne durchbricht. Nur ein liebliches Wort aus deinem rosigen Munde! Und mein ganzes Sein fühl' ich belebend erquickt. So durchduftet, wie stark! ein Tröpfchen Öl, von der Rose [Würziger]3 Blume gepreßt, Locken und Brust und Gewand.

Seulement un regard souriant de tes yeux rayonnants, Et c'est sa lumière joyeuse que je sens m'éclairer en moi. De même, un jour de brouillard, nous sommes égayés par un rayon amical, Quand à travers le voile sombre le soleil perce soudain. Seulement un mot d'amour de ta bouche rose, Et c'est mon être tout entier que je sens vivifié et revigoré. De même, tout entiers parfumés comme par une goutte d'essence d'une rose Pressée de sa fleur aromatique sont tes boucles, ton sein, ta robe.
