Alla luna
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Procedi o canda luna, tutta regina in cielo, nè invidioso velo oltraggi il tuo candor. Tanta dolcezza aduna la luce tua gradita, che all'anima rapita stilla un celeste amor. Lieta colei che quando tu sveli il chiaro viso altrui confida il riso, confida il pianto almen, il lumen tuo mirando soavemente mesta, può riposar la testa sovra un amico sen.

An den Mond
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Zieh' hin am Himmelsbogen, Mond in der Abendstille, und keine neid'sche Hülle verdunkle deinen Schein. Zärtliche Freundesgrüße scheinst du ins zuzunicken, und der Liebe süß Entzücken hauchst du der Seele ein. Sie teilet voll Vertrauen, lässt sich dein Lächeln schauen, mit der verwandten Seele den Kummer und die Lust; der Freund schließt mit dem Freunde den festen Bund aufs Neue und sinkt voll reiner Treue liebend an seine Brust.
