Entzückung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Tag voll Himmel! da aus Lauras Blicken
Mir der Liebe heiligstes Entzücken
In die wonnetrunkne Seele drang!
Und, von ihrem Zauber hingerissen,
Ich der Holden, unter Feuerküssen,
An den süßbeklommnen Busen sank!

Goldner sah ich Wolken sich besäumen,
Jedes Blättchen auf den Frühlingsbäumen
Schien zu flüstern: Ewig, ewig dein!
Glücklicher, in solcher Taumelfülle,
Werd' ich, nach verstäubter Erdenhülle,
Kaum in Edens [Mirtenlauben]¹ seyn.

Verrukking

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Dag vol hemel! Toen uit Laura's ogen
Mij verrukking, liefde, opgetogen
In de vreugdedronken ziel doordrong!
En, door haar betoverd, ik intussen,
Bij de lieve, onder vurige kussen,
Aan de zoete bange boezem zonk!
 
Om de wolken zag ik goudener zomen,
Ieder blaadje aan de lentebomen
Scheen te fluist'ren: Eeuwig, eeuwig jij!
Zaliger, zo vol van zielsvervulling,
Zal ik, na 't verlies der aards' omhulling,
Haast in Edens mirtenbos niet zijn.
