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?

Sinä säihkyväsilmäinen, tummatukkainen, ihana ja röyhkeä poika, sinun takiasi on suru tullut sydänparkaani! Voiko auringon lämpö muuttua jääksi, voiko päivä muuttua yöksi? Voiko lämmin ihmisrinta hengittää tuntematta hehkuvaa kaipausta? Onko ympärillä niin paljon valoa, että kukka näyttää olevan pimeässä? Onko maailma niin täynnä iloa, että sydän riutuu tuskaansa?
