Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Geh schlafen, Liebste, lege dich zur...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Geh schlafen, Liebste, lege dich zur Ruhe. Dein Kissen wird in Rosen sich verwandeln, Das Linnentuch mit Veilchen sich bedecken, Und nicht, Geliebte, wirst du einsam bleiben: Es fliegen, um dein hold Gesicht zu schauen, Zwölf Engelein herab aus Himmelsauen.
