Du hast deinen Kopf tief über mich gesenkt, Deinen Kopf mit den goldenen Lenzhaaren, Und deine Lippen sind von rosiger Seidenweichheit, Wie die Blüten der Bäume Edens waren. Und die keimende Liebe ist meine Seele. O, meine Seele ist das vertriebene Sehnen, Du zitterst vor Ahnungen Und weißt nicht, warum deine Träume stöhnen. Immer liege ich auf deinem Leben, Eine tausendstämmige Erinnerung. Und du bist so blutjung, so adamjung... Du hast deinen Kopf tief über mich gesenkt --.

Tu as profondément incliné ta tête sur moi, Ta tête à la chevelure d'or du printemps, Et tes lèvres ont la douceur rose de la soie, Comme l'étaient les fleurs des arbres d'Éden. Et l'amour naissant est mon âme. Ô, mon âme est le désir dissipé, Tu frissonnes de pressentiments Et ne sais pas pourquoi tes rêves gémissent. Je pose toujours sur ta vie Un souvenir inébranlable. Et tu es tant le sang de la jeunesse, tant la jeunesse d'Adam ... Tu as profondément incliné ta tête sur moi.
