Die Bäder
2.
Daß ich der schönen Körper Sprache wüßte
Und brauner Glieder runden Glanz entnähme,
Daß eure dümmste Rede zu mir käme
Und mich erlöste von der Nebelküste!

2.

And derive from bronzed limbs the well-rounded sheen,
That their idlest orations would come clean
And rescue me from shores of foggy seas.
