Um der fallenden Ruder Spitzen Zittert und leuchtet ein schimmernder Glanz, Flieht bei jedem Schlage mit Blitzen Hin von Wellen zu Wellen im Tanz. Mir im Busen von Liebeswonnen Zittert und leuchtet das Herz wie die Flut, Jubelt hinauf zu den Sternen und Sonnen, Bebt zu vergeh'n in der wogenden Glut. Schon auf dem Felsen durchs Grün der Platane Seh' ich das säulengetragene Dach, Und das flimmernde Licht am Altane Kündet [mir]1, daß die Geliebte noch wach. [Fliege]2, mein Kahn! und birg uns verschwiegen, Birg uns, selige Nacht des August! Süß wohl ist's, auf [den]1 Wellen sich wiegen, Aber süßer an ihrer Brust.

Om de neergaande roeispaanbladen Siddert en sprankelt een lichtende glans, Vlucht bij elke riemslag met flitsen Weg van golven naar golven in dans. In mijn boezem, van liefde gloeiend, Siddert en sprankelt mijn hart als het meer, Jubelt en juicht naar de zon en de sterren, Beeft en vergaat in de deining dan weer. Ginds op de rotsen door ’t groen der platanen Zie ik het dak al, door zuilen geschraagd, En het flikk’rende licht op de omloop Zegt mij ook dat mijn beminde nog waakt. Vlieg nu, mijn boot, en houd ons verborgen, Berg ons, heerlijke zomerse nacht! Fijn is ‘t wel, op de golven te wiegen, Maar veel fijner bij haar, heel zacht.
