Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Dein süßes Bild, Edone,
Schwebt stets vor meinem Blick;
Allein ihn trüben Zähren,
Daß du es selbst nicht bist.

Ich seh' es, wenn der Abend
Mir dämmert, wenn der Mond
Mir glänzt, seh' ich's, und weine,
Daß du es selbst nicht bist.

Bey jenes Thales Blumen,
Die ich ihr lesen will,
Bey jenen Myrtenzweigen,
Die ich ihr flechten will,

Beschwör ich dich, Erscheinung,
Auf, und verwandle dich!
Verwandle dich, Erscheinung,
Und werd' Edone selbst!
