Flammenauge, dunkles Haar, Knabe wonnig und verwogen, Kummer ist durch dich hinein in mein armes Herz gezogen! Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand, sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren? Kann die heisse Menschenbrust atmen ohne Glutbegehren? Ist die Flur so voller Licht, daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe? Ist die Welt so voller Lust, daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

Yeux de braise, cheveux noirs Ravissant et hardi garçon, Par toi le chagrin est entré Dans mon pauvre cœur ! Le feu du soleil peut-il devenir glace, Le jour se changer en nuit ? La brûlante poitrine d'un homme Respirer sans embraser le désir ? Les prairies sont-elles si pleines de lumière Pour que les fleurs se dressent dans le noir ? Le monde est-il si plein de plaisir Pour que le cœur se meure de tourments ?
