Into a common light of common hours,
Until old age bring the red flare again.

Or how bravely we do;

Be we traitor or true:
And after the bloom
And the passion is past
Death comes at last.

For the fairest of fair Zurich's daughters
In a dream of love melted away.

With hue as red as the rosy bed
Which a bee would choose to dream in.
