Deine Augen sind nicht himmelblau, Dein Mund, er ist kein Rosenmund, Nicht Brust und Arme Lilien. Ach! welch ein Frühling wäre das, Wo solche Lilien, solche Rosen Im Tal und auf den Höhen blühten Und alles das ein klarer Himmel Umfinge wie dein blaues Aug!

Tes yeux ne sont pas bleus comme le ciel, Ta bouche n'est pas la bouche d'une rose, Ton sein et ton bras ne sont pas de lis. Ah ! Quel printemps ce serait, Où de tels lis, de telles roses, Fleurissaient par monts et par vaux, Et si un ciel clair comme tes yeux Embrassait tout cela.
