All mein Wirken, all mein Leben, Strebt nach dir Verehrte hin! Alle meine Sinne weben Mir dein Bild o Zauberinn! Du entflammest meinen Busen Zu der Leyer Harmonie, Du begeisterst mehr als Musen Und entzückest mehr als sie. - - Ach dein blaues Auge strahlet Durch den Sturm der Seele mild, Und dein süßes Lächeln mahlet Rosig mir der Zukunft Bild. Herrlich schmückt des Himmels Gränzen Zwar [Aurorens]1 Purpurlicht, Aber lieblicheres Glänzen Uiberdeckt dein Angesicht, Wenn mit wonnetrunknen Blicken Ach! und unaussprechlich schön, Meine Augen voll Entzücken Purpurn dich erröthen sehn.

Tots els meus afanys, tota la meva vida malden per tu, adorada meva! Tots els meus sentits ordeixen la teva imatge, oh encantadora! Tu aflames el meu cor amb l’harmonia de la lira, tu inspires més que les muses i encises més que elles ho fan. Ai, els teus ulls blaus resplendeixen suaument a través de la tempesta de la meva ànima, i el teu dolç somriure pinta per a mi un futur color de rosa. Els confins del cel estan esplèndidament ornats de ben cert amb la llum porpra de l’aurora, però un esclat encara més formós cobreix el teu rostre, quan amb esguards ebris de delit ai, inefablement joliu, quan els meus ulls plens d’encís et veuen enrojolar amb color de porpra.
