Sadly, I don't think I can be of much help here. I'm bilingual so I read Novalis in German. I checked my favorite critics who have written about Novalis (not too much, though), and they also work with the original, not with a translation.
Sometimes, trying to find a "good," or at least "satisfying," translation for poetry can become Mission Impossible. That's really a bummer. Myself, I've been looking for decent translations of modern French poetry for ages, and next year or so I might give learning the language instead a shot!
But keep trying. Reading Novalis is rewarding, for sure!
