Translation by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)
Die Schnur, die Perl' an Perle
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्)
Die Schnur, die Perl' an Perle Um deinen Hals gereihte, Wie wiegt sie sich so fröhlich Auf deiner schönen Brust! Mit Seel' und Sinn begabet, Mit Seligkeit berauschet Sie, diese Götterlust. Was müssen wir erst fühlen, In welchen Herzen schlagen, So heiße Menschenherzen, Wofern es uns gestattet, Uns traulich anzuschmiegen An eine solche Brust?
