Well then, burst through lips obstructing,

Storms, that through my bosom roll,

Thoughts, that flash like rays of lightning

Through the darkness of my soul,

Fire of Shame and Wrathful Teeming,

Rouse my string from idle dreaming

And its heavy swoon control!

Hatched my songs not in a nest weighed

With scented tresses softly pressed,

Warmed them not the heart of maid
