Der Sieger

Our translations: FRE
Anzuschauen das Turnei, Saßen hundert Frauen droben; Diese waren nur das Laub, Meine Fürstin war die Rose. Aufwärts blickt ich keck zu ihr, Wie der Adler blickt zur Sonne. Wie da meiner Wangen Glut Das Visier durchbrennen wollte! Wie des Herzens kühner Schlag Schier den Panzer durchgebrochen! Ihrer Blicke sanfter Schein War in mir zu wildem Lodern, Ihrer Rede mildes Wehn War in mir zu Sturmestoben, Sie, der schöne Maientag, In mir zum Gewitter worden. Unaufhaltbar brach ich los, Sieghaft alles niederdonnernd.
