Wenn um den Holunder der Abendwind kost Und der Falter um den Jasminenstrauch, Dann kos' ich mit meinem Liebchen auch Auf der Steinbank schattig und weich bemoost. Und wenn vom Dorfe die Glocke erschallt Und der Lerche jubelndes Abendgebet, Dann schweigen wir auch, und die Seele zergeht Vor der Liebe heiliger Gottesgewalt. Und blickt dann vom Himmel der Sterne Schar Und das Glühwürmchen in der Lilie Schoß, Dann lasse ich sie aus den Armen los Und küsse ihr scheidend das Augenpaar.

Quan el vent del capvespre acarona el saüc i la papallona el matoll de gessamí, aleshores jo acarono també la meva estimada al banc de pedra, ombriu i cobert de flonja molsa. I quan des del poble ressonen les campanes i l’alegre pregària del vespre de l’alosa, aleshores callem també nosaltres i les nostres ànimes es fonen en el sagrat poder de l’amor. I quan la munió d’estrelles esguarda des del cel i les lluernes al faldar dels lliris, aleshores jo deixo anar els meus braços i, al marxar, beso els seus dos ulls.
