Our translations: ENG
В простор небес безбрежный ускользая, В блаженный край, где ангелы святые Вкушают мир в долине безмятежной, Ты вознеслась, навеки покидая прекрасных жён, Но не земные беды, не летний зной, Не холод бури снежной нас разлучил С твоей душою нежной, В пределы рая Биче увлекая... Но сам Творец в безмолвном Восхищенье призвал своё бессмертное творенье, К бесплотным сонмам Биче приобщая... Чтоб нашей жизни горе и волненье Твоей души безгрешной не коснулись, Твои глаза последним сном сомкнулись.

Zur sel'gen Höh' bist du nun, ach,...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Zur sel'gen Höh' bist du nun, ach, entflogen Ins ew'ge Land, wo reine Engel wallen, Der Gnade froh im hei'lgen Friedenshaine. Du gingst, hast dich für ewiglich entzogen Den schönen Frau'n. Doch nicht des Frostes Krallen, Nicht Fiebers Glut entraffte dich, du Reine, Die uns verliess, umglänzt vom Anmutsscheine, Der hold vermählt war deinen jungen Jahren. Er selbst, der Herr, rief Beatricens Seele, Sein hehrstes Werk, die Schöpfung sonder Fehlt, Und bracht sie zu seinen Engelscharen, Dss in ihr Herz kein Erdenleid sich stehl, Ins reine Herz kein Erdenschmerzen fliessen, Dass sich die Augen rein im Tode schliessen!..
