O zürne nicht, wenn mein Begehren aus seinen Tiefen lodernd bricht! soll es sich selber nicht verzehren, muß zuckend es hinaus ans Licht. Fühlst ja, wie heiß mein Leben glutet und wenn empor die Flamme bricht, dich meine Liebe jäh umflutet, dann bebst du, -- doch du zürnest nicht.

Ô ne m'en veux pas si des profondeurs éclatent les flammes de mon désir ! Il ne peut pas se consumer lui-même, il doit se montrer palpitant dans la lumière. Tu sens bien combien ma vie est embrasée, et quand les flammes explosent au grand jour , que soudain mon amour te submerge, alors tu trembles, pourtant tu ne m'en veux pas.
