Vor Edens Tor im Morgenprangen
Stand eine Peri schmerzbefangen:
Und wie sie lauscht dem Lebensquelle,
Des Flut harmonisch drinnen hallte,
Und wie vom Licht ihr Fittich helle,
Das durch halboffne Pforten wallte:
Weint sie, verbannt aus diesen Au'n,
Ihr sündiges Geschlecht zu schaun.

Paradise and the Peri.

Davant la porta de l’Edèn a l’esplendor del matí
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Contralt solo:
Davant la porta de l’Edèn a l’esplendor del matí
hi havia una Peri presa del dolor:
i ella escoltava la font de la vida
que des de les aigües harmònicament ressonava a dins,
i com en la llum brillaven les seves ales
que es bellugaven a través de la porta mig oberta:
desterrada d’aquelles prades, ella plorava
atès la seva pecadora nissaga.
