Träume
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sag, welch wunderbare Träume Halten meinen Sinn umfangen, Daß sie nicht wie leere Schäume Sind in ödes Nichts vergangen? Träume, die in jeder Stunde, Jedem Tage schöner blühn, Und mit ihrer Himmelskunde Selig durchs Gemüte ziehn! Träume, die wie hehre Strahlen In die Seele sich versenken, Dort ein ewig Bild zu malen: Allvergessen, Eingedenken! Träume, wie wenn Frühlingssonne Aus dem Schnee die Blüten küßt, Daß zu nie geahnter Wonne Sie der neue Tag begrüßt, Daß sie wachsen, daß sie blühen, Träumend spenden ihren Duft, Sanft an deiner Brust verglühen, Und dann sinken in die Gruft.

Sogni
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Sogni miei! Per quale arcano In voi l'anima si culla? No, non siete un soffio vano Che si perde in grembo al nulla. Sogni! A schiere, a torme, a stuoli Rilucenti di splendor, Chi dirige i vostri voli Sante immagini del cuor? Sogni! L'uom con voi si affonda In un vasto arcano, flutto, E nel gaudio che l'innonda Tutto oblìa! Ricorda tutto! Sogni! Vaghi sogni erranti Sovra il capo del mortal, Col baglio de' vostri incanti Voi sperdete il Dio del mal. Nella vita amara e brulla Siete l'iride fedel. Siete i sogni della culla Siete i sogni dell' avèl.
