Als wir hinter dem beblümten tore Endlich nur das eigne hauchen spürten, Warden uns erdachte seligkeiten? Ich erinnere, daß wie schwache rohre Beide stumm zu beben wir begannen Wenn wir leis nur an uns rührten Und daß unsre augen rannen - So verbliebest du mir lang zu seiten.

Comme nous entrions par la porte fleurie Finalement seulement notre souffle fut ressenti, Viendras-tu concevoir notre félicité ? Je me souviens que comme de faibles roseaux Tous les deux en silence nous commencions à trembler Quand seulement à peine nous nous frôlions Et que nos yeux pleuraient - Alors tu restais longtemps à mon côté.
