Purpurmund! sammetne Augen!
Stolze Tulpe, des Gartens Zier --
Neige dich, Schlanke, der Gluthbegier
Wonne zu saugen!
Feuerblume! [doch]1 wisse:
Besser wär' es der Lieb' und dir,
Neigtest du zagende Lippen mir,
Gleich der Narzisse!

Crimson lips! velvet eyes!
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Crimson lips! velvet eyes!
Proud tulip, the adornment of the garden --
Incline yourself, slender one, to imbibe
The bliss of glowing desire!
Fire-flower! [but]1 know:
It would be better for love and for you,
If you inclined tremulous lips to me,
As the narcissus does!
