Ich raube in den Nächten
Die Rosen deines Mundes,
Daß keine Weibin Trinken findet.

Die dich umarmt,
Stiehlt mir von meinem Schauern,
Die ich um deine Glieder malte.

Ich bin dein Wegrand.
Die dich streift,
Stürzt ab.

Fühlst du mein Lebtum
Überall
Wie ferner Saum?

Pendant les nuits je vole
Les roses de ta bouche,
Qu'aucune femme ne trouve à y boire.

Celle qui t'enlace
Me dérobe mes frissons,
Ceux que j'ai peints sur tes membres.

Je suis le bord de ton chemin,
Qui t'effleure,
Tombe.

Sens-tu ma vie
Partout
Comme une lointaine lisière ?
