Sing weiter, bis ich mit Freude erfüllt bin;
Denn dann rührst du meine lauschende Seele
Zu nie versiegenden Genüssen:
Deine Augen, dein Mienenspiel, deine Zunge verkünden,
Dass du überall Musik bist.
 
Genüsse dringen in Aug und Ohr;
So heftig sind die Empfindungen, dass sie verwunden;
Und alle meine Sinne sind ergötzt,
Und doch ist der Genuss nur Schall:
Sicher muss ich durch deine Reize sterben;
Rettest du mich nicht in deinen Armen.}}<ref name="FR"/></poem>
