Der Dämmerung Schein
Durchblick sic den Hain;
Hier, beim Geräusch des Wasserfalles,
Denk' ich nur dich, o du mein Alles!
Dein Zauberbild
Erscheint, so mild
Wie Hesper im Abendgolde,
Dem fernen Freund, geliebte Holde!
Er sehnt wie hier
Sich stets nach dir;
Fest, wie den Stamm die Eppichranke,
Umschlingt Dich liebend sein Gedanke.

La luce del crepuscolo
splende per il boschetto;
qui, al rumore della cascata,
io penso solo a te, mio Tutto!
La tua meravigliosa
immagine appare soave,
come Espero nell'oro della sera,
all'amico lontano, mia dolce amata!
Egli vorrebbe starti vicino,
stretto come il ramo dell'edera
abbraccia il tronco,
il suo pensiero ti avvince d'amore.
