Geheimnisvoller Klang,
Für Geister der Luft besaitet,
Von keines Menschen Gesang,
Von Stürmen nur begleitet.
In deinen Tiefen sind
Die Melodien der Sterne, --
So ruft ein weinend Kind
Der Mutter in die Ferne.
Laute der Trösterin der Einsamkeit!
So [ziehen]1 über Fluten Schwäne,
So wiegt in Träume [der]2 Seligkeit
Die schmerzenstillenden Thräne.

Arpa eòlica
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
So misteriós,
encordat per als esperits de l’aire,
acompanyat per cap cant humà,
només per les tempestes.
En els teus tons greus es troben
les melodies dels estels, --
com un infant que plora i crida
la mare que és lluny.
Sons de la que conhorta la solitud!
Així neden els cignes damunt les aigües,
així es bressen en somnis de benaurança
les llàgrimes que assuaugen les penes.
