Original text and translations

German text Ruhn Sie? Rufet das Horn des Wächters drüben aus Westen, und aus Osten das Horn rufet entgegen: Sie ruhn. Hörst du, zagendes Herz, die flüsternden Stimmen der Engel? Lösche die Lampe getrost, hülle in Frieden dich ein.

Italian text Riposano? Risuona il corno del guardiano là a ponente e da levante risuona in risposta un corno: riposano. Odi, cuore esitante, le voci degli angeli bisbigliare? Spegni fiducioso la torcia, lasciati avvolgere dalla pace.
