Friedlicher Abend senkt sich aufs Gefilde; Sanft entschlummert Natur, um ihre Züge Schwebt der Dämmerung zarte Verhüllung, und sie Lächelt die Holde; Lächelt, ein schlummernd Kind in Vaters Armen, Der voll Liebe zu ihr sich neigt, sein göttlich Auge weilt auf ihr, und es weht sein Odem Über ihr Antlitz.

Un plàcid capvespre davalla damunt els camps;
dolçament la natura s’adorm, al seu entorn
sura el delicat embolcall del crepuscle, i ella
encisadora, somriu.
Somriu com una criatura dormint als braços del pare,
que ple d’amor, es vincla al seu envers, els seus
ulls divins resten amb ella, i exhala el seu alè
damunt el seu rostre.
