Das lockere saatgefilde lechzet krank
Da es nach hartem froste schon die lauern
Lenzlichter fühlte und der pflüge zähne
Und vor dem stoß der vorjahr-stürme keuchte:
Sei mir nun fruchtend bad und linder trank
Von deiner nackten brust das blumige schauern
Das duften deiner leichtgewirrten strähne
Dein hauch dein weinen deines mundes feuchte.

Le champ semé peu serré a soif et est malade
Quand après le dur gel il ressent l'attente
Des lumières du printemps et les dents de la charrue
Et halète après les tempêtes de l'an dernier :
Maintenant soient pour moi un bain onctueux et une boisson douce
Le frisson fleuri de ta poitrine nue,
Le parfum de tes cheveux doucement emmêlés,
Ton souffle, tes larmes, ta bouche humide.
