Schon zerfließt das ferne Gebirg mit Wolken In ein Meer; den Wogen entsteigt der Mond, er Grüßt die Flur, entgegen ihm grüßt das schönste Lied Philomelens. Aus dem Blütenstrauche, der um das Plätzchen Zarter Liebe heimlichend sich verschlinget: Mirzi horcht am Busen des Jünglings ihrem Zaubergeflöte. Dort am Hügel weiden die Schafe beider Traulichen Gemenges in einer Herde, Ihre Glöcklein stimmen so lieblich ein zu Frohen Akkorden.

Già con le nubi i lontani monti sembrano fondersi in un mare; dalle cui onde sorge la luna, salutando i campi, mentre in risposta saluta il più bel canto di Filomela.1 Dal cespuglio fiorito che, attorno a un angolino di tenero amore segreto, tutto si intreccia, Mirzi ascolta, sul petto del giovane, il suo flautare magico. Là sulla collina pascolano le loro pecore, intimamente mescolate in un solo gregge, e i loro campanacci intonano delicati, sereni accordi.
