Hier ob dem Eingang seid befestiget, Ihr Kränze, so beregnet und benetzt Von meines Auges schmerzlichem Erguß! Denn reich zu thränen pflegt das Aug' der Liebe. Dies zarte Naß, ich bitte, Nicht allzu frühe träufet es herab. Spart es, bis ihr vernehmet, daß sie sich Der Schwelle naht mit ihrem Grazienschritte, Die Theuere, die mir so ungelind! Mit einem Male dann hernieder sei es Auf ihres Hauptes goldne Pracht ergossen, Und sie empfinde, daß es Thränen sind; Daß es die Thränen sind, die meinem Aug' In dieser kummervollen Nacht entflossen.

Sigueu subjectades aquí, damunt l’entrada, vosaltres garlandes, tan regades i mullades per el dolorós vessament dels meus ulls! Car els ulls de l’amor solen plorar abundantment. Aquesta tendra mullena, us prego, no la deixeu degotar massa aviat. Reteniu-la fins que us adoneu que s’apropa al llindar, amb els seus passos gràcils, la meva estimada, que ha estat tan cruel amb mi! Llavors vesseu-la tota de cop damunt la daurada esplendor del seu cap perquè ella s’adoni de què són llàgrimes, que són llàgrimes que els meus ulls han vessat en aquesta nit plena de desconsol.
