Morgennebel, Lila, Hüllen deinen Turm [um]1. Soll ich ihn zum Letztenmal nicht sehn! Doch mir schweben Tausend Bilder Seliger [Erinnerung]2 Heilig warm ums Herz. Wie er [so]3 stand, Zeuge meiner Wonne, Als zum erstenmal Du dem [Fremdling]4 Ängstlich liebevoll Begegnetest, Und mit einemmal Ewge Flammen In die Seel' ihm warfst. Zische, Nord, Tausend-schlangen-züngig Mir ums Haupt! Beugen sollst du's nicht! Beugen magst du Kind'scher Zweige Haupt, Von der Sonne Muttergegenwart geschieden. Allgegenwärt'ge Liebe! [Durchglühst]5 mich, [Beutst]6 dem Wetter die Stirn, Gefahren die Brust, Hast mir gegossen Ins früh welkende Herz Doppeltes Leben, Freude, zu leben, Und Mut!

Un brouillard matinal, Lila, Enveloppe ta tour, Faut-il donc que je ne la voie pas Une dernière fois ! Mais mille images Planent en moi, Souvenir bienheureux Chaud et sacré dans mon cœur. Comme celle où elle était là, Témoin de mon bonheur, Quand pour la première fois Craintive et aimante Tu rencontras, L'étranger, Et d'un coup Lui allumas au cœur Une flamme éternelle. Siffle, aquilon, De tes mille langues de serpent, Autour de ma tête ! Tu ne dois pas l'infléchir ! Tu peux infléchir La tête des jeunes rameaux Éloignés du soleil. De sa présence maternelle. Amour omniprésent ! Ta brûlure pénètre en moi ; Tu affrontes le temps, Le cœur en péril, Tu as versé Dans mon cœur précocement flétri Une double vie : Joie de vivre, Et courage.
