O wie schön ist [deine]1 Welt, Vater, wenn sie golden strahlet! Wenn dein Glanz herniederfällt, Und den Staub mit Schimmer malet; Wenn das Roth, das in der Wolke blinkt, In mein stilles Fenster sinkt! Könnt' ich klagen, könnt' ich zagen? Irre seyn an dir und mir? Nein, ich will im Busen tragen Deinen Himmel schon [dahier]2. Und dies Herz, eh' es zusammenbricht, Trinkt noch Gluth und schlürft noch Licht.

Oh, que formós és el teu món Pare, quan daurat resplendeix! Quan cau el teu esclat i tenyeix la pols amb besllum, quan la vermellor, que refulgeix en els núvols s’endinsa a la meva tranquil·la finestra. Me’n puc plànyer? En puc dubtar? Puc estar errat sobre tu o sobre mi? No, jo vull portar al meu cor el teu cel des d’ara mateix. I aquest cor, abans que es parteixi, beurà encara roentor i xuclarà llum.
