Translation by Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821 - 1891)

Ob du, Täubchen, deinen Flug genommen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Ob du, Täubchen, deinen Flug genommen
Durch die Lüfte, bis zum Himmelszelt;
Ob du schweifest durch die weite Welt,
Mußt doch einmal in die Hand mir kommen.
