Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; [Wem]1 dein Gesicht Voll Engellicht Den Gruß des Friedens winket. Ein süsser Blick, Ein Wink, ein Nick, Glänzt mir wie Frühlingssonnen; Den ganzen Tag Sinn' ich ihm nach, Und schweb' in Himmelswonnen. Dein holdes Bild Führt mich so mild An sanfter Blumenkette; In meinem Arm Erwacht es warm, Und geht mit mir zu Bette. Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; [Wen]2 süsser Blick Und Wink und Nick Zum süssern Kusse winket.
A. Harder sets stanzas 1-3, 1

Heureux, heureux Celui qui t'aperçoit Et s'abreuve à ton ciel Lorsque ton visage Empli de la lumière des anges D'un signe envoie un salut de paix. Un doux regard Un signe, un acquiescement Brillent pour moi comme le soleil du printemps ; Durant tout le jour J'y repense Et plane dans les délices célestes. Ta gracieuse image Me mènera avec bonté A une douce chaîne de fleurs ; La chaleur de mes bras La réveillera Et elle viendra avec moi au lit. Heureux, heureux Celui qui t'aperçoit Et s'abreuve à ton ciel, À qui un doux regard Un signe, un acquiescement Appellent des doux baisers.
