ChatGPT translation:

Does he not perhaps also live underground when

The day's harmony will be mute to him,

If he can awaken it with gentle care

In the minds of his [own]

[...]

Only he who leaves no legacy of affections

Has little joy of the urn; and if he looks

After the funeral, he sees his spirit

Wander amidst Acheron's lamented temples,

Or seeks shelter under the vast wings

Of God's forgiveness: but his dust

Leaves to the nettles of deserted soil

Where neither the enamored woman prays,

Nor the solitary passer-by hears the sigh

That Nature sends to us from the tomb.

That's a pretty good translation.
