Mina ögon vill jag sluta, falla mot min huvudgärd, utav fjärran toner njuta, förda från en annan värld. Men den ton som renast klingar, och den sång som skönast hörs, ifrån dig på lätta vingar till mitt öra fram den förs. Och den röst som djupast tränger i mitt hjärtas fibrer in, som med salig lust sig mänger, det, min älskade, är din.
