Wandl' ich [in dem]1 Wald des Abends,
In dem träumerischen Wald,
Immer wandelt mir zur Seite
Deine zärtliche Gestalt.
 
Ist es nicht dein weißer Schleier?
Nicht dein sanftes Angesicht?
Oder ist es nur der Mondschein,
Der durch Tannendunkel bricht?
 
Sind es meine eignen Tränen
Die ich leise rinnen hör'?
Oder gehst du, Liebste, [wirklich]2
Weinend neben mir einher?

Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Quando a sera io vado stanco
nella selva addormentata,
parmi scorgere al mio fianco
la tua forma delicata.

Del tuo velo è il biancheggiare?
Miro il tuo leggiadro volto?
O sol è chiaror lunare
che dei pini entra nel folto?

Ma quel ch'io sommessamento
sento scorrere è il mio pianto?
Oppur tu sei veramente
che mi segui, e piangi tanto?
