Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.
A. Bochkoltz-Falconi sets stanza 3

A l’estany d’aigües calmes resta
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
A l’estany d’aigües calmes resta l’esclat encisador de la lluna, trenant llurs pàl·lides roses en la verda garlanda del canyís. Cérvols corren allà al tossal, alcen l’esguard a través de la nit; de tant en tant ocells es belluguen somiejant al fons dels joncs. Plorant, haig d’abaixar el meu esguard; al més profund de la meva ànima passa un pensament de tu, com una silent pregària nocturna.
