Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Wie bist du, meine Königin,
  Durch sanfte Güte wonnevoll!
Du lächle nur -- Lenzdüfte weh'n
  Durch mein Gemüte wonnevoll.

Frisch aufgeblühter Rose Glanz,
  Vergleich ich ihn dem deinigen?
Ach, über alles, was da blüht,
  Ist deine Blüthe wonnevoll!

Durch tote Wüsten wandle hin,
  Und grüne Schatten breiten sich,
Ob fürchterliche Schwüle dort
  Ohn' Ende brüte, wonnevoll.

Laß mich vergeh'n in deinem Arm!
  Es ist ihm ja selbst der Tod,
Ob auch die herbste Todesqual
  Die Brust durchwüte, wonnevoll.
