Morgennebel, Lila, Hüllen deinen Turm [um]1. Soll ich ihn zum Letztenmal nicht sehn! Doch mir schweben Tausend Bilder Seliger [Erinnerung]2 Heilig warm ums Herz. Wie er [so]3 stand, Zeuge meiner Wonne, Als zum erstenmal Du dem [Fremdling]4 Ängstlich liebevoll Begegnetest, Und mit einemmal Ewge Flammen In die Seel' ihm warfst. Zische, Nord, Tausend-schlangen-züngig Mir ums Haupt! Beugen sollst du's nicht! Beugen magst du Kind'scher Zweige Haupt, Von der Sonne Muttergegenwart geschieden. Allgegenwärt'ge Liebe! [Durchglühst]5 mich, [Beutst]6 dem Wetter die Stirn, Gefahren die Brust, Hast mir gegossen Ins früh welkende Herz Doppeltes Leben, Freude, zu leben, Und Mut!

Una boira matinal, Lila, embolcalla la teva torre. No l’haig de veure per darrera vegada! Però em voletegen mil imatges de records feliços càlidament sagrats al meu cor. Com quan ell era allà, testimoni del meu goig, com quan tu per primera vegada, tímida i afectuosa, amb el foraster et trobares i tot d’una li llançares flames eternes. Xiula, vent del nord, amb les teves mil llengües de serp, a l’entorn del meu cap! No el faràs vinclar! Millor que facis vinclar els caps de les joves branques privades de la maternal presència del sol. Amor omnipresent! Abrusant em penetres, afrontes els temporals, els perills del cor, tu has abocat al meu precoçment mústic cor una doble vida, joia de viure i coratge.
