Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingen und hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schau'rn und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

In de kelk van de lelie wil 'k baden

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Raif)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

In de kelk van de lelie wil 'k baden,
Ik wil domp'len mijn ziel daarin;
De lelie moet klankvol aad'men
Een lied van mijn hartsvriendin.
 
Het lied moet huiv'ren en beven
Als de kussen van haar mond,
Die zij me eens heeft gegeven,
In 'n uur dat ik heerlijk vond.
