Im Winterboden schläft ein Blumenkeim,
Der Schmetterling, der einst um Busch und Hügel
In Frühlingsnächten wiegt den sammt'nen Flügel;
Nie soll er kosten deinen Honigseim.
Wer aber weiß, ob nicht sein zarter Geist,
Wenn jede Zier des Sommers hingesunken,
Dereinst, von deinem leisen Dufte trunken,
Mir unsichtbar, dich blühende umkreist?

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
El germen d’una flor dorm a la terra de l’hivern,
la papallona que adés, per matolls i tossals,
a les nits de primavera, batia les seves vellutades ales,
mai tastarà el teu nèctar.
Qui sap però, si el seu delicat esperit,
un cop esvanida tota l’esplendor de l’estiu,
un dia, èbria de la teva subtil fragància,
per a mi invisible, no volarà al teu florit entorn?
