Hauche milder, Abendluft, Klage sanfter, Philomele, Eine schöne, engelreine Seele Schläft in dieser Gruft. Bleich und stumm am düstern Rand Steht der Vater mit dem Sohne, Denen ihres Lebens schönste Krone Schnell mit ihr verschwand. Und sie weinen in die Gruft, Aber ihrer Liebe Zähren Werden sich zum Perlenkranz verklären, Wenn der Engel ruft.

Bufa més suaument, oreig del capvespre, plany-te més dolçament, Filomela, una ànima adorable, pura com un àngel, dorm en aquesta tomba. Pàl•lids i muts, a la tètrica vora, estan el pare i el fill, per als quals, la més bella corona de la vida amb ella, prompte desaparegué. I ells ploren al costat de la tomba, però llurs llàgrimes d’amor es transformaran en una garlanda de perles quan l’àngel la cridarà.
