Leise, rieselnder Quell, ihr wallenden, flispernden Pappeln, Euer Schlummergeräusch wecket die Liebe nur auf. Linderung sucht' ich bei euch, und sie zu vergessen, die Spröde; Ach! und Blätter und Bach seufzen: [Elisa! mir zu.]1

Oh font que rages silenciosa! Pollancres que onegeu i xiuxiuegeu, la vostra fressa endormiscada només desperta l’amor. En vosaltres vaig cercar el conhort per oblidar-la, a ella, l’esquerpa. Ai, i el fullatge i el rierol sospiren, Lluïsa, per tu!
