Ich schwebe wie auf Engelsschwingen,
Die Erde kaum berührt mein Fuß,
In meinen Ohren hör' ich's klagen
Wie der Geliebten Scheidegruß.
Das tönt so lieblich, mild und leise,
Das spricht so zage, zart und rein,
Leicht lullt die nachgeklung'ne Weise
In wonneschweren Traum mich ein.
...
Mein schimmernd Aug' -- indeß mich füllen
Die süßesten der Melodien, --
Sieht ohne Falten, ohne Hüllen
Mein lächelnd Lieb' vorüberziehn.

Io fluttuo come sulle ali di un angelo,
il mio piede appena tocca il suolo,
ho sentito un lamento risuonare
come se fosse il mio addio all'amore.
Risuona, bello, dolce e tranquillo,
mi parla timido, fragile e tranquillo,
l'eco melodioso mi culla dolcemente
mi custodisce in un sogno felice.
...
Il mio occhio splendente, sembra crogiolarsi
nella più dolce delle melodie
contempla senza rughe, senza affanno
il mio amore sorridente che se ne va.
