Laß Akaziendüfte schaukeln, Rosen durch die Fenster gaukeln, Blütenfee, das bist nun du! Deine buchenroten Locken läuten mir wie Märchenglocken, und die weiten Täler locken. . . Komm, mein Kind, wir gehn zur Ruh! In das Land der blassen Farben ziehn wir ein, und Purpurgarben fächeln stille Flammen zu. Horch, schon zittern weiche Lieder, Mond enthüllt sein Schneegefieder, fieberheiß die reifen Glieder, ziehn wir, Hand in Hand, zur Ruh. Leise Scham, so schüchtern gleitend, lichte Rosenflügel spreitend, deckt die Äuglein, deckt dich zu. Klingt's im Park von Zymbeln, Zinken, will durchs Fenster Venus winken, müssen Band und Seide sinken, komm, mein Kind, wir ziehn zur Ruh.

Que la senteur des acacias se balance, Que les roses voltigent à travers la fenêtre, Tu es maintenant la reine des fleurs ! Tes boucles rouges comme des hêtres Sonne pour moi comme des cloches de contes, Et la large vallée attire... Viens, mon enfant, nous allons nous mettre au lit ! Dans le pays des couleurs pâles Nous irons, et des feuillages pourpres Attiseront des flammes muettes. Écoute, déjà des chants tendres frémissent, La lune déploie ses ailes neigeuses, Fiévreusement , les membres gelés, Nous irons main dans la main nous mettre au lit. Une légère pudeur, brillant si timidement, Étendant doucement ses ailes roses, Recouvre tes yeux et te recouvre. Le parc résonne de cymbales et de cors, Vénus fait signe à travers la fenêtre, Nous devons laisser tomber les rubans et les soieries. Viens, mon enfant, nous allons nous mettre au lit !
