Schaust du mich aus deinen Augen Lächelnd, wie aus Himmeln an, Fühl ich wohl, daß keine Lippe Solche Sprache führen kann. Könnte sie's auch wörtlich sagen, Was dem Herzen tief entquillt; Still den Augen aufgetragen, Wird es süßer nur erfüllt. Und ich seh des Himmels Quelle Die mir lang verschlossen war, Wie sie bricht aus reinster Helle Aus dem reinsten Augenpaar. Und ich öffne still im Herzen Alles, alles diesem Blick, Und den Abgrund meiner Schmerzen Füllt er strömend aus mit Glück.

Quand tu me regardes avec ces yeux, En souriant, comme du ciel, Je sens bien qu'aucune lèvre Ne peut exprimer pareil message. Si seulement ils pouvaient dire littéralement Ce qui est enfoui au fond du cœur ; Ce que les yeux demandent en silence, Est accordé avec plus de douceur. Et je vois la source du ciel, Celle qui longtemps m'a été fermée, Quand elle éclate d'une pure clarté À travers les yeux les plus purs. Et j'ouvre mon cœur Tout entier à ce regard, Qui emplit l'abîme de mes douleurs D'un flot de bonheur.
