Süßer Freund, du blickest
Mich verwundert an,
Kannst es nicht begreifen,
Wie ich weinen kann;
Laß der feuchten Perlen
Ungewohnte Zier
Freudig hell erzittern
In dem Auge mir.
Wie so bang mein Busen,
Wie so wonnevoll!
Wüßt' ich nur mit Worten,
Wie ich's sagen soll;
Komm und birg dein Antlitz
Hier an meiner Brust,
Will in's Ohr dir flüstern
Alle meine Lust.
...
Weißt du nun die Thränen,
Die ich weinen kann?
Sollst du nicht sie sehen,
Du geliebter Mann;
Bleib' an meinem Herzen,
Fühle dessen Schlag,
Daß ich fest und fester
Nur dich drücken mag.
Hier an meinem Bette
Hat die Wiege Raum,
Wo sie still verberge
Meinen holden Traum;
Kommen wird der Morgen,
Wo der Traum erwacht,
Und daraus dein Bildniß
Mir entgegen lacht.

'Chara dhil a bhreathnaíonn
Le hiontas orm féin
Is ní léir duit conas
Mé a bheith i bpéin.
Lig dom’ phéarlaí taise –
Ornáid as an ngnáth –
Lig dóibh bheith ag drithliú
I mo shúil’, a ghrá.
Suaite táim im’ bhrollach
Ar mo chroí tá néal,
Á dá mbeadh na briathra
‘Teacht go dtí mo bhéal.
Tar is cuir do ghnúis dhil
Le mo bhrollach bán
Déarfad leat i gcogar
A bhfuil dúinn i ndán.
...
Cois na leapa teolaí
Beidh an cliabhán
Ina bhfuil i gcónaí
Brionglóidín amháin.
Is le teacht na maid’ne
Dúiseoidh an bhrionglóid
Siúd, a stór, do shamhail
Le gáir’ os mo chomhair.
