O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose! Wie wenn die Sonne triumphierend sich Hebt über Sterne, die am Himmel stunden, Ein Schimmer nach dem andern leis' erblich, Bis alle sind in einen Glanz geschwunden; So hab' ich, Liebste, dich Gefunden: Du kamst, da war, was je mein Herz empfunden, Geschwunden In dich. O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose! Wie wenn des Meeres Arme aufthun sich Den Strömen, die nach ihnen sich gewunden, Hinein sich diese stürzen brünstiglich, Bis sie die Ruh im tiefen Schooß gefunden; So, Liebste, hab' ich dich Empfunden: Sich hat mein Herz mit allen Sehnsuchtswunden Entbunden In dich. O Sonn', o Meer, o Rose! Wie wenn im Frühling tausendfältig sich Ein buntes Grün hat ringend losgewunden, Ein hadernd Volk, bis Rose, königlich Eintretend, es zum Kranz um sich verbunden; So, Liebste, hab' ich dich Umwunden: Der Kranz des Daseyns muss sich blühend runden, Gebunden In dich.

Oh sol, oh mar, oh rosa! Com quan triomfant el sol s’aixeca damunt les estrelles del cel, i que un besllum rere l’altre suaument s’esblaimen, fins que tots s’esvaneixen en una lluïssor, així jo, estimada, t’he trobat: tu vingueres i tot el que el meu cor havia sentit desaparegué en tu. Oh sol, oh mar, oh rosa! Com quan els braços del mar s’obren als rius que han serpentejat al seu envers i ferventment a dins s’hi precipiten, fins que troben el repòs a les profundes entranyes; així jo, estimada, t’he copsat: amb totes les ferides del deler, el meu cor s’ha deslliurat en tu. Oh sol, oh mar, oh rosa! Com quan mil vegades la primavera ha maldat per lliurar una acolorida verdor, un poble litigant, fins que la rosa entrant reialment, els enllaça al seu voltant en una garlanda; així jo, estimada, t’he enllaçat: la garlanda de l’existència s’ha d’arrodonir amb flors, lligada a tu.
