All mein Wirken, all mein Leben,
Strebt nach dir Verehrte hin!
Alle meine Sinne weben
Mir dein Bild o Zauberinn!
Du entflammest meinen Busen
Zu der Leyer Harmonie,
Du begeisterst mehr als Musen
Und entzückest mehr als sie. - -
Ach dein blaues Auge strahlet
Durch den Sturm der Seele mild,
Und dein süßes Lächeln mahlet
Rosig mir der Zukunft Bild.
Herrlich schmückt des Himmels Gränzen
Zwar [Aurorens]1 Purpurlicht,
Aber lieblicheres Glänzen
Überdeckt dein Angesicht,
Wenn mit wonnetrunknen Blicken
Ach! und unaussprechlich schön,
Meine Augen voll Entzücken
Purpurn dich erröthen sehn.

Ogni mia azione, tutta la mia vita
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Ogni mia azione, tutta la mia vita,
è dedicata a te, mia amata!
Tutti i miei sensi tessono
la tua figura fatata!
Tu il mio animo infiammi
come di una lira gli accordi,
più delle muse mi ispiri
e più di loro incanti. - -
L’azzurro del tuo sguardo che splende
porta il sereno nell’anima tempestosa,
e il tuo dolce sorriso dipinge
un futuro tinto di rosa.
I confini del cielo sono abbelliti
dalla luce cremisi dell'aurora,
ma un bagliore più dolce
il tuo viso colora,
quando sto a contemplare,
in estasi la tua bellezza
e ti vedo, d’un tratto,
arrossire.
