Was weht um meine Schläfe Wie laue Frühlingsluft, Was spielt um meine Wangen Wie süßer Rosenduft? Es ist dein holder Gedanke, Der tröstend mich umspielt, Es ist dein stilles Sehnen, Was meine Schläfe kühlt! Und was wie Harfenklänge Um meine Sinne schwirrt, Mein Name ist's, der leise Von deinen Lippen irrt. Ich fühle deine Nähe! Es ist dein Wunsch, dein Geist, Der mich aus weiter Ferne An deinen Busen reißt.

Què alena al voltant de les meves temples com una tèbia brisa d’estiu, què juga al voltant de les meves galtes com un dolç perfum de roses? És el teu gentil pensament que juga al meu voltant per reconfortar-me, és el teu silenciós anhel que refresca les meves temples! I el que, com el so d’una arpa, brunzina al voltant dels meus sentits, és el meu nom que fluixet vagareja des dels teus llavis. Sento la teva proximitat! És el teu desig, el teu esperit, que des de la llunyania m’arrabassa vers el teu pit.
