Du liebes Auge, [willst dich tauchen]1, In meines [Augs]2 [geheimste]3 Tiefe, Zu [spähen]4, wo in blauen Gründen Verborgen eine Perle schliefe? Du liebes Auge, tauche nieder, Und in die klare Tiefe dringe Und lächle, wenn ich dir [dein Bildniß]5 Als schönste Perle wiederbringe.

Tu ull estimat, et voldries enfonsar en la misteriosa profunditat del meu ull, per sotjar, a quin lloc del fons blau, dorm amagada una perla? Tu ull estimat, enfonsa’t avall, i penetra en la clara fondària, i somriu quan et retorni aquesta imatge com la més bonica de les perles.
