Dein Angesicht so lieb und schön, Das hab' ich jüngst im Traum gesehn, Es ist so mild und engelgleich, Und doch so bleich, so schmerzenreich. Und nur die Lippen, die sind rot; Bald aber küßt sie bleich der Tod. Erlöschen wird das Himmelslicht, Das aus den frommen Augen bricht.

Ton visage si cher et si beau, Je l'ai vu récemment en rêve, Il est si doux et angélique, Et pourtant si pâle, empli de douleur. Et seules tes lèvres sont rouges ; Mais bientôt elles pâliront sous le baiser de la mort. Elle s'éteindra, la lumière céleste Qui jaillit de tes yeux innocents.
