[An]1 einem lichten Morgen, Da klingt es hell im Thal: Wach' auf, du liebe Blume, Ich bin der Sonnenstral! Erschließe mit Vertrauen Dein Blütenkämmerlein Und laß die heiße Liebe Ins Heiligtum hinein. Ich will ja nichts verlangen Als liegen dir im Schoos, Und deine Blüte küssen -- Eh sie verwelkt im Moos. Ich will ja nichts begehren, Als ruhn an deiner Brust, Und dich dafür verklären Mit sonnenheller Lust!

Un matin lumineux, Résonne clairement à travers la vallée : Éveille-toi, chère fleur, Je suis le rayon du soleil ! Ouvre avec confiance Ton petit cœur de fleur Et laisse mon chaud amour Pénétrer dans ton sanctuaire. Je ne demande rien d'autre Que de reposer sur ton sein, Et embrasser ta fleur -- Avant qu'elle tombe fanée dans la mousse. Je ne désire rien d'autre Que de reposer sur ta poitrine, Et en échange je te glorifierai De ma joie ensoleillée !
