«Я -- цветок полевой, я -- лилия долин.» « ,,Голубица моя белолонная, Между юных подруг -- словно в тернии крин.» « Словно [яблонь]1 в цвету благовонная [Посредине]2 бесплодных деревьев лесных, Милый мой - меж друзей молодых; [Я под тень его сесть восхотела - и села, И плоды его сладкие ела. Проведите меня в дом вина и пиров, Одарите любовною властию, Положите на одр из душистых цветов: Я больна, я уязвлена страстию. Вот рука его здесь, под моей головой; Он меня обнимает другой... Заклинаю вас, юные девы Шалима, Я должна, я хочу быть любима!]3»

Gleich der Blume im Feld, gleich der Lilie im Tal, bist mein Täubelein du, weißgefiedertes! Schimmerst lieblich hervor aus der Freundinnen Schar, o mein Täubelein du, weißgefiedertes! Wie die Myrthe im Hain, die süß duftende, unter allen den Bäumen des Waldes bist du unter deinen Gespielen, Geliebte, du mein! Wo, ach weilst du, Freund, Geliebter mein?
