Ich saß bei jener Linde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich saß bei jener Linde Mit meinem trauten Kinde, Wir saßen Hand in Hand. Kein Blättchen rauscht' im Winde, Die Sonne schien gelinde Herab aufs stille Land. Wir saßen ganz vershwiegen Mit innigem Vergnügen, Das Herz kaum merklich schlug. Was sollten wir auch sagen? Was konnten wir uns fragen? Wir wußten ja genug. Es mocht uns nichts mehr fehlen, Kein Sehnen konnt uns quälen, Nichts Liebes war uns fern. Aus liebem Aug ein Grüßen, Vom lieben Mund ein Küssen Gab eins dem andern gern.

Les bienheureux
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
J'étais assis près de ce tilleul Avec ma petite chérie, Nous étions assis main dans la main, Aucune feuille ne bruissait dans le vent, Un doux soleil éclairait La campagne silencieuse. Nous étions assis silencieux, Jouissant d'un plaisir intérieur, Les battements du cœur à peine perceptibles Que pouvions-nous ajouter ? Que pouvions-nous nous demander ? Nous en savions déjà assez. Rien ne pouvait plus nous manquer, Aucun désir ne pouvait nous torturer, Rien de l'amour ne nous était étranger. Des yeux chéris un regard, De la bouche aimée un baiser, L'un et l'autre aimaient à se les échanger.
