Ich tret' in deinen Garten; Wo, Süße, weilst du heut? Nur Schmetterlinge flattern Durch diese Einsamkeit. Doch wie in bunter Fülle Hier deine Beete stehn Und mit den Blumendüften Die Weste mich umwehn! Ich fühle dich mir nahe, Die Einsamkeit belebt, Wie über seinen Welten Der Unsichtbare schwebt.

Je pénètre dans ton jardin ; Où, ma douce, attends-tu aujourd'hui ? Seuls des papillons volètent Dans cette solitude. Dans une exubérance de couleur Tes parterres sont bien là, Et avec le parfum des fleurs Le vent d'ouest m'environne ! Je te sens proche de moi, La solitude est animée, Comme lorsqu'au-dessus de ses mondes Plane l'Invisible.
