Daß ich dich, o Liebe mein, Keuschen Leibes Elfenbein, Rosig überm warmen Blut, Küssen darf als hehrstes Gut, Dünkt mich oft ein Traum der Nacht, Den in fernen Fabelreichen, Auf der Erde ohnegleichen, Mir ein Engel ausgedacht.

Que je puisse, ô mon amour, Ivoire d'un chaste corps, Rose sous la chaleur d'un sang ardent, T'embrasser comme le bien le plus sublime, Me semble souvent être un rêve de la nuit, Que dans un lointain royaume fabuleux, Sans pareil sur terre, Un ange me fait imaginer.
