Komm, und senke die umflorten Schwingen,
Süßer Schlummer, auf den müden Blick!
Segner! Freund! in deinen Armen dringen
Trost und Balsam auf's verlorne Glück.
Schochow: "Schubert nennt Uz als Dichter, doch findet sich die Strophe nicht unter den Gedichten von Uz." - Schubert names Uz as the author of this text, but these lines have not been found among Uz's work.

Vieni, e posa la tua ala velata,
dolce Sonno, sui miei occhi stanchi!
Benigno! Amico! Nel tuo abbraccio rechi
conforto e balsamo alla felicità perduta.
