An Chloen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA
Die Munterkeit ist meinen Wangen,
Den Augen Glut und Sprach entgangen;
Der Mund will kaum ein Lächeln wagen;
Kaum will der welke Leib sich tragen,
Der Bluhmen am Mittage gleicht,
Wann Flora lechzt und Zephyr weicht.

Doch merk ich, wann sich Chloe zeiget,
Daß mein entflammter Blick nicht schweiget, 
Und Suada nach den Lippen flieget; 
Ein glühend Roth im Antlitz sieget,
Und alles sich an mir verjüngt, 
Wie Bluhmen, die der Thau durchdringt. 

Ich seh auf sie mit bangem Sehnen,
Und kann den Blick nicht weggewöhnen:
Die Anmuth, die im Auge wachet
Und um die jungen Wangen lachet,
Zieht meinen weggewichnen Blick
Mit güldnen Banden stets zurück.

Mein Blut strömt mit geschwindern Güssen;
Ich brenn, ich zittre, sie zu küssen;
Ich suche sie mit wilden Blicken,
Und Ungeduld will mich ersticken,
Indem ich immer sehnsuchtsvoll
Sie sehn und nicht umarmen soll.

Aan Chloë
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Mijn vrolijkheid is weg volkomen,
Mijn oog is gloed en taal ontnomen;
Mijn mond wil haast geen lachje wagen,
Mijn lijf kan, slap, zich amper dragen,
Nu 't bloemen in de middag lijkt,
Als Flora smacht en Zefier wijkt.

Toch merk ik, wanneer Chloë opdaagt,
Dat mijn ontvlamde blik weer opvlaagt
En Suada snel de lippen tovert;
Een gloeiend rood 't gelaat verovert
En jeugd weer heel mijn lijf bespringt
Als bloemen, die de dauw doordringt.

Ik kijk naar haar met bang begeren,
En kan mijn blik niet van haar weren:
De charme in dat oog gevangen,
Dat lachje om die jonge wangen
Trekt steeds met gouden banden vlug
Mijn afgewende blik terug.
 
Mijn bloed stroomt snel, is niet te blussen;
Ik brand, ik tril, om haar te kussen;
Ik zoek naar haar met wilde blikken,
En ongeduld wil mij verstikken,
Omdat ik steeds, verliefd, van slag,
Haar zien maar niet omarmen mag.
