Flammenauge, dunkles Haar, Knabe wonnig und verwogen, Kummer ist durch dich hinein in mein armes Herz gezogen! Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand, sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren? Kann die heisse Menschenbrust atmen ohne Glutbegehren? Ist die Flur so voller Licht, daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe? Ist die Welt so voller Lust, daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

Ulls flamejants, cabells foscos, jovencell encisador i audaç, per tu, l’aflicció ha entrat al meu pobre cor! Podria la cremor del sol esdevenir gel, o el dia tornar-se nit? Podria l’ardent pit d’un home respirar sense roent desig? És el camp tan ple de llum perquè les flors es drecin en la foscúria? El món és tan ple de voluptat perquè el cor es mori de turments?
