Weine du nicht, o die ich innig liebe, Daß ein trauriger Tag von dir mich scheidet! Wenn [nun wieder]1 Hesperus dir dort lächelt, Komm', ich Glücklicher, wieder! Aber in dunkler Nacht ersteigst du Felsen, Schwebst in täuschender dunkler Nacht auf Wassern! Theilt' ich nur mit dir die Gefahr zu sterben; Würd', ich Glückliche, weinen?

No ploris, tu a qui efusivament estimo, perquè un trist dia em separi de tu! Si Hèsper et somriu un altre cop, jo, afortunat, tornaré! Però en la foscúria de la nit puges damunt les roques, en l’enganyosa nit fosca sures damunt les aigües! Si solament pogués compartir amb tu el perill de morir; podria plorar jo, afortunada?
