Weißt du noch, wie weiß, wie bleich in den Maiendämmerungen, wenn ich lag, von dir umschlungen, dir zu Füßen hingerissen, um uns schwankten die Narzissen? Weißt du noch, wie heiß, wie weich in den blauen Juninächten, wenn wir, müde von den Küssen, um uns flochten deine Flechten, Düfte hauchten die Narzissen? Wieder leuchten dir zu Füßen, wenn die Dämmerungen sinken, wenn die blauen Nächte blinken, wieder duften die Narzissen. Weißt du noch, wie heiß? wie bleich?

Sais-tu encore combien blancs, combien blêmes, dans le crépuscule du mois de mai, alors que j'étais enlacé par toi, à tes pieds, ébloui par toi, les narcisses se balançaient autour de nous ? Sais-tu encore combien brûlant, combien doux, dans les nuits bleues du mois de juin, quand fatigués des baisers, tes tresses se mêlaient autour de nous, était le souffle parfumé des narcisses ? Ils brillent à nouveau à tes pieds lorsque tombent les crépuscules, lorsque les nuits bleues scintillent, les narcisses exhalent à nouveau leur parfum. Sais-tu encore combien brûlants, combien blêmes ?
