Die Orgel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
"Noch einmal spielt die Orgel mir,
Mein alter Nachbarsmann!
Versucht es, ob ihr frommer Schall
Mein Herz erquicken kann!"

Die Kranke bat, der Nachbar spielt,
So spielt' er nie vorher,
So rein, so herrlich, nein! er kennt
Sein eigen Spiel nicht mehr.

Es ist ein fremder, sel'ger Klang,
Der seiner Hand entbebt,
Er hält mit Grauen ein, da war
Der Freundin Geist entschwebt.

Confirmed with Uhlands Werke, Erster Teil, Gedichte, herausgegeben von Adalbert Silbermann, Berlin, Leipzig, Wien, Stuttgart: Deutsches Verlagshaus Bong & Co., [no year], page 141

L'orgue
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Joue-moi de l'orgue encore une fois
Mon vieux voisin !
Essaie de voir si avec ses résonances religieuses
Il peut réconforter mon cœur ! »

Le malade supplie, le voisin joue,
Il n'a jamais joué auparavant
Avec tant de pureté, tant d'éclat, non !
Il ne reconnaît plus son propre jeu.

C'est une sonorité étrangère et bienheureuse
Que sa main fait frissonner,
Soudain il s'arrête, saisi d'horreur,
L'âme de son amie s'était envolée.
