Ein heilig Säuseln, und ein Gesangeston Durchzittre deine Wipfel, o Schattengang, Wo bang' und wild der ersten Liebe Selige Taumel mein Herz berauschten. Die Abendsonne bebte wie lichtes Gold Durch Purpurblüten, bebte wie lichtes Gold Um ihres Busens Silberschleier; Und ich zerfloß in Entzückungsschauer. Nach langer Trennung küsse mit [Engelkuß]1 Ein treuer Jüngling hier das geliebte Weib, Und schwör' in diesem Blütendunkel [Ewige]2 Treue der Auserkornen. Ein Blümchen sprosse, [wann]3 wir gestorben sind, Aus jedem Rasen, welchen ihr Fuß berührt, Und trag' auf jedem seiner Blätter Meines verherlichten Mädchens Namen.

Un mormol sagrat i el so d’una cançó tremolegen per les teves capçades, oh camí ombriu. On, neguitós i ferotge, el deliri sagrat del primer amor inebrià el meu cor. El sol de l’hora baixa titil•lava com un or lluminós a través de flors porpres, titil•lava com un or lluminós al voltant del vel argentat del seu pit; i jo em vaig fondre en un estremiment d’encís. Després d’una llarga separació, amb besades angèliques, un fidel jovencell petoneja aquí la dona estimada i jura, en aquesta foscúria florida, fidelitat eterna a la seva escollida. Quan serem morts, que broti una petita flor de cada gespa que els seus peus trepitjaren i que cadascuna de les seves fulles porti el nom de la meva adorada donzella.
