In düst'rer Nacht, Wenn Gram mein fühlend Herz umziehet, Des Glückes Sonne mir [entfliehet]1, Und ihre Pracht; Da leuchtet fern [Im feurig wonniglichen]2 Glanze, Wie in der Liebe Strahlenkranze Ein holder Stern. Und ewig rein Lebt unter Wonne, unter Schmerzen, Im [treuen]3 liebevollen Herzen Sein Wiederschein; So hold und mild Wird unter tröstenden Gestalten Auch in der Ferne mich umwalten Dein Zauberbild.

En la nit més fosca, quan la pena cobreix el meu sensible cor, i fuig de mi el sol de la benaurança i la seva esplendor, brilla al lluny, amb un esclat fervent i delitós, com una radiant corona d’amor, una estrella encisadora. I eternament pur, en el goig, en el dolor, en el meu cor fidel, ple d’amor, viu el seu reflex; així, encisadora i benigna, sota una forma confortant, m’acompanyarà també quan sigui lluny, la seva màgica imatge.
