Original text and translations

English text

Lovely art thou in the dance,
Spirit of light,
Tripping in fairylike trance,
On through the night,
Chaining thy rapturous glance,
Unto thy sight.

Lovely art thou in the grove,
Nymph of the wood;
Queen of the roses of love,
Laughter imbued,
Hiding the innocent dove
Under thy snood.

Lovely art thou in the home,
Maiden divine,
Raising thine eyes— as the foam
Brightly that shine—
Where they no longer need roam,
Fixed upon mine.
