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

El jovencell a la font
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
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!
