Gleich einer versunkenen Melodie hör ich vergangene Tage mich umklingen. Heiß von Thränen wird mir die Wange, und von [wehmütigen]1 Seufzern schluchzt mir die Brust, an der du - ach Du! einst dein blondes, erglühendes Köpfchen bargst, o Geliebte!

Com una melodia perduda sento els dies passats ressonar en mi. De les llàgrimes em cremen les galtes i de melangiosos sospirs sanglota el meu pit en el que tu – ai tu! un dia amagaves el teu ros, enrojolat cap, oh estimada!
