In den weissen [Gluten]1
Der hellen Rosen
Möchte ich [verbluten]2.
Doch auf den Teichen
Warten die starren, seelenlosen Wasserrosen,
Um meiner Sehnsucht Kühle zu reichen.

Dans les blanches corolles
Des roses claires
Je suis submergée.
Mais sur les étangs
Les nymphéas figés et sans âme tardent
À atteindre la froideur de mon désir.
