Hohe Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE SPA
In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken,
Des Lebens Früchte winken euch;
Ein Blick nur ist auf mich gesunken,
Doch bin ich vor euch allen reich.
Das Glück der Erde miss ich gerne
Und blick, ein Märtyrer, hinan,
Denn über mir in goldner Ferne
Hat sich der Himmel aufgetan.
Note: some lines of this poem were used in Zanettovich's Lied (mond - nacht - liebes - traum - lied)

En brazos del amor reposan ustedes...
Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)
En brazos del amor reposan ustedes embriagados,
los frutos de la vida les llaman;
una mirada tan solo sobre mí ha descendido,
pero soy más rico que todos ustedes.
Renuncio gustoso a la felicidad terrena
y alzo, como un mártir, los ojos;
pues sobre mí, en la dorada distancia,
se ha abierto el cielo.
