Wenn im Spiele leiser Töne Meine kranke Seele schwebt, Und der Wehmuth süße Thräne Deinem warmen Blick [entbebt]1: Sink' ich dir bey sanftem Wallen Deines Busens sprachlos hin; Engelmelodien schallen, Und der Erde [Schatten]2 fliehn! So in Eden hingesunken, Lieb' mit Liebe umgetauscht, Küsse lispelnd, Wonnetrunken, Wie von Seraphim umrauscht: Reichst du mir im Engelbilde Liebewarmen Labetrank, Wenn im schnöden Staubgefilde Schmachtend meine Seele sank.

Quan en el joc de tons suaus sura la meva ànima malaltissa i dolces llàgrimes de melangia vessen del teu càlid esguard; m’enfonso dins del blanenc plec del teu pit sense dir cap paraula; ressonen melodies angèliques i les ombres de la terra s’enfugen! Així, submergit en l’edèn, amor bescanviat per amor, xiuxiuejant besades, ebri de delit, envoltat de remor de serafins: sota la forma d’un àngel, tu em donares un beuratge reconfortant, amb l’escalf de l’amor, quan en l’erm infame i polsegós, delint-se, la meva ànima s’esfondrà.
