Eh wir weitergehen, Lass uns stille stehen, Hier ist Alles ruhig, weit und klar. Eine Blüthendolde Von dem gelben Golde Dieses Strauches in Dein braunes Haar! Seine Zweige hängen Schwer und voll und drängen Über uns mit süsser Kraft herein. Lass uns stehn und warten -- Tief im fernsten Garten Kann die Liebe nicht [geborg'ner]1 sein. Eine alte Weise Klingt verträumt und leise, Und Du siehst mich an und lächelst hold. Quellen gehn und rinnen -- Ach, was [nun]2 beginnen -- ? Sieh: es regnet Glück und Sonnengold!
Confirmed with the anthology Jugend, Nr. 16, München & Leipzig: G. Hirth's Kunstverlag, 1899, page 252.

Avant d'aller plus loin Tenons-nous en silence, Ici tout est calme, vaste et clair. Une ombelle de fleurs d'or jaune De ce buisson dans ta chevelure brune ! Ses branches pendent, lourdes et pleines et appuient Sur nous avec une force douce. Arrêtons-nous et attendons tout au fond du jardin Que l'amour puisse se montrer. Une vieille mélodie retentit comme un rêve, un murmure, Et tu me regardes et souris doucement. Les sources avancent et coulent. Ah, qu'est-ce qui commence ? Regarde, il pleut du bonheur et de l'or du soleil.
