Nimm dich in Acht, mein Lieb, du kennst mich nicht!
So wie der Goldgrund alter Schloßtapeten
Durch tausend übermalte Farben bricht,
Um sonnenleuchtend an den Tag zu treten, -

So wie im Steppenbrande Halm für Halm
Jählings verknisternd durch die Flammen fliegen,
Um immer wieder aus dem Aschenqualm
Den schlanken Siegerleib im Licht zu wiegen -

So treib nur hin, so toll' nur lachend hin,
Wo weiße Frauenarme dich umwinden:
Denn immer - weil ich deine Sehnsucht bin, -
Wirst du in fremden meine Seele finden!
