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.

Slechts een glimlach, een blik vanuit jouw stralende ogen, En door 't vrolijke licht voel ik ten diepst mij verlicht. Zo verblijdt op een mistige dag een vriend'lijke straal ons, Als door 't duistere waas plots'ling het zonlicht heen breekt. Slechts een hartelijk woord van jouw twee rozige lippen, En mijn ganse zijn voel ik vernieuwd en verkwikt. Zo doorgeurt ook - hoe sterk - een drupje vocht, uit de bloem van Geur'ge rozen geperst, lokken en boezem en kleed.
