Hatem Dies zu deuten bin erbötig! Hab ich dir nicht oft erzählt, Wie der Doge von Venedig Mit dem Meere sich vermählt? So von deinen Fingergliedern Fiel der Ring dem Euphrat zu. Ach, zu tausend [Himmelsliedern]1, Süßer Traum, begeisterst du! Mich, der von des Indostanen Streifte bis Damaskus hin, Um mit neuen Karawanen Bis ans rote Meer zu ziehn, Mich vermählst du deinem Fluße, Der Terrasse diesem Hain: Hier soll bis zum letzten Kuße Dir mein Geist gewidmet sein.

Hatem : Je suis prêt à te l'indiquer ! Ne t'ai-je pas souvent raconté Comment le doge de Venise S'est marié avec la mer ? Ainsi de ton doigt L'anneau est tombé dans l'Euphrate. Ah ! mille chants célestes, Doux rêve, tu m'inspires ! Moi qui des Indes Ai erré jusqu'à Damas; Et avec de nouvelles caravanes Suis allé jusqu'à la mer rouge, Tu m'as marié à ton fleuve, À la terrasse de ce bosquet : Ici jusqu'au dernier baiser Mon âme te sera dédiée.
