Die Peri und Chor
Schlaf nun und ruhe in Träumen voll Duft,
Balsam'scher umweh dich die Luft,
Als dem magischen Brand der Phönix entsteigt,
Wenn er sein eigenes Grablied singt.
Schlaf nun und ruh in Träumen voll Lust,
Du, die treueste, liebendste Brust!
Sie sprach's, und Himmelshauch durchfließt
Von ihren Lippen diese Stelle,
Sie schwingt den Strahlenkranz und gießt
Auf beider Antlitz solche Helle,
Daß wie ein Heil'genpaar sie lagen.
Indes die Peri wacht und Licht
Mild strahlt in ihre Todesnacht,
Bis ihre Seelen auferwacht.
Note: this text is a translation of part of Thomas Moore's
Paradise and the Peri.

Dormi ora e riposa sognando intensi profumi
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
La Peri e Coro
Dormi ora e riposa sognando intensi profumi,
più piena di balsami si fa l'aria,
come rinasce la Fenice dal magico rogo
allorché intona il suo canto di morte.
Dormi ora e riposa sognando intensi profumi,
tu, che fedele più di ogni altra hai amato!
Così lei disse, e un respiro divino alitò,
dalle sue labbra, in quel posto,
facendo vibrare una corona di luce e inondando
il volto dei due di un tale chiarore,
che entrambi, giacenti, sembravano santi.
Li veglia, intanto, la Peri e una luce
lieve continua a rifulgere nello loro notte mortale,
fino alla resurrezione delle loro anime.
