Verliebt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Schilt mich nicht, du strenger Meister,
Daß im Diwan ich geträumet
Und bei des Muezzins Rufen,
Ach, nach Mittag stand gewendet.
Wisse, als ich kam vom Bade,
Als ich heimging aus den Gärten,
Schlüpfte Zillah mir vorüber,
Und den Schleier hob sie schalkhaft.

In love

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Do not chide me, you stern master,
That I dreamed away the time in the divan
And when the cry of the muezzin rang out,
Stood turned toward the south.
Know that when I returned from my bath,
When I went homeward from the gardens,
Zillah slipped past me
And roguishly lifted her veil.
