... Am Abendhimmel blühet ein Frühling auf; Unzählig blühen die Rosen, und ruhig scheint Die goldene Welt; o dorthin nehmt mich, Purpurne Wolken! und möge droben In Licht und Luft zerrinnen mir Lieb und Leid'! Doch, wie verscheucht von törichter Bitte, flieht Der Zauber; dunkel wird's und einsam ... Komm du nun, sanfter Schlummer! zu viel begehrt Das Herz; doch endlich Jugend! verglühst du ja, Du ruhelose, träumerische! Friedlich und heiter ist dann das Alter.

...
Dans le ciel du soir un printemps fleurit ;
D'innombrables roses fleurissent, et en paix brille
Le monde doré ; oh emportez-moi
Nuages pourpres ! et là-haut
Dans la lumière et l'air que mon amour et le chagrin se dissipent !
Mais, comme effrayé par ma prière déraisonnable, s'enfuit
Le charme ; tout s'assombrit et seul
Sous les cieux, comme toujours, je suis -
Viens maintenant, doux sommeil ! à trop aspire
Le cœur ; mais finalement, jeunesse ! tu te consumeras,
Toi rêveuse sans repos !
Paisible et sereine viendra la vieillesse.
