No... svaniti non sono i sogni, e cedo, e m'abbandono a le carezze loro: chiudo li occhi pensosi e ti rivedo come in un nimbo di faville d'oro! Tu mi soridi amabilmente, e chiedo de'lunghi affanni miei gentil ristoro! A le dolci lusinghe ancora io credo a'l ricantar de le speranze in coro. Ecco... io tendo le mani! ecco a'l rapito pensier già tutto esulta, e un vivo foco di sospir, di desío corre le vene! Ma... tu passi ne l'aere, a'l par di lene nuvola dileguante a poco a poco, per lontano orizzonte ... indefinito!

Nein... nicht sind verflogen die Träume, und ich gebe nach und überlasse mich ihrer Liebkosung: Nachdenklich schließ’ ich die Augen, und dich seh’ ich wieder umstrahlt wie vom Glorienschein goldener Funken! Du lächelst mich liebevoll an, und ich erbitte gnädig Erlösung aus meinem endlosen Kummer! Noch einmal glaub’ ich an jene süßen Verlockungen, Hoffnungen, die mir im Chor wieder erklingen! Hier... ich reiche die Hände! Ach, zu diesem entrückten Gedanken jubelt schon alles, und ein lebhaftes Feuer des Seufzens und des Begehrens rast mir durch die Adern! Doch... schon entschwindest du mir, so wie nach und nach eine leichte Wolke zerfließt, am fernen, unbestimmten Horizonte!...
