Bey der Liebe reinsten Flammen, Glänzt das arme Hütten-Dach: Liebchen! ewig nun beysammen! Liebchen! [schlafend]1 oder wach! Süßes, zärtliches Umfangen, Wenn der Tag am Himmel graut; Heimlich klopfendes Verlangen, Wenn der Abend niederthaut! Wonne dort auf allen Hügeln, Wonn' im Thal, und Jubel hier! Volle Freyheit, zu verriegeln Unsre kleine Hütten-Thür! Lobgesang in Finsternissen, Wo kein Neider sich versteckt, Wo nicht mehr, indem wir küßen, Jedes Lüftchen uns erschreckt! Und wir theilen alle Freuden, Sonn' und Mond und Sternen-Glanz; Allen Segen, alles Leiden, Arbeit und Gebet, und Tanz. So, bey reiner Liebe Flammen, Endet sich der schöne Lauf; Ruhig schweben wir zusammen, Liebchen! Liebchen! Himmel auf.

L’amore con la sua più pura fiamma Risplende sopra il tetto dell’umile capanna: Amore mio! saremo per sempre uniti Amore mio! da svegli o addormentati! In un abbraccio delicato e tenero quando il giorno illuminerà il cielo, incalzati da una voglia segreta quando poi la sera sarà calata! Felicità discenderà sopra ogni colle e qui poserà, attraversata ogni valle! A noi piacerà che sia ben chiusa La porta della nostra piccola casa! E chiusi al buio leveremo un canto di gioia e non visti saremo da chi di noi invidia prova, e mentre, abbracciati, ci stiamo a baciare nessun imbarazzo ci potrà turbare. Ogni nostra gioia sarà condivisa, il Sole, la Luna, ogni stella luminosa, ogni dono del cielo, ogni sofferenza, e lavoro, e preghiera, ed allegria di danza. Poi, sempre illuminati dalle fiamme d’amore il nostro bel viaggio giungerà alla fine, e potranno fluttuare verso celesti mete, Le nostre anime, in eterno unite.
