Nunmehr da Himmel, Erde schweigt und Winde, Gefieder, Wild, des Schlummers Bande tragen, Die Nacht im Kreise führt den Sternenwagen, Und still das Meer sich senkt in seine Gründe: Nun wach' ich, [sinne, glühe, wein',]1 und finde Nur sie, die mich verfolgt mit süßen Plagen. Krieg ist mein Zustand, Zorn und Mißbehagen; Nur, denk' ich sie, winkt Friede mir gelinde. So strömt, was mich ernährt, das Süß' und Herbe, Aus eines einz'gen Quell's lebend'gem Strahle; Dieselbe Hand gibt Heilung mir und Wunden. Und daß mein Leiden nie ein Ziel [erwerbe]2, Sterb' und ersteh' ich täglich tausend Male; So weit entfernt noch bin ich zu gesunden.

Kai žemė, vėjas ir dangus nutyla, Paukšteliai, žvėrys snaudulin nugrimzta, Naktis ratu žvaigždynus sukdama nerimsta Ir jūra gelmėse bangas skandina, Aš pabundu, degu, verkiu, galvoju Vien apie tą, kuri mane kamuoja. Rūstybė, negalia many kovoja, O nurimstu, kai apie ją svajoju. Aitra mane maitina ir saldumas, Betrykštantys iš gaiviojo šaltinio, Ranka viena ir gydo, ir žaloja. Kad tikslo nepasiektų mano kančios Kasdien aš mirštu ir naujai atgyju, Išgydyti savęs kol kas nenoriu.
