Grablied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auch des Edlen schlummernde Gebeine
Hüllt das Dunkel der Vergessenheit
Moos bedeckt die Schrift am Leichensteine,
Und sein Name stirbt im Lauf der Zeit.
Wann erwacht die neue Morgenröte?
O wann keimt des ew'gen Frühlings Laub?
Niedrig ist der Toten Schlummerstätte
Eng und düster ihr Gemach von Staub!
Noch umkränzen Rosen meine Locken,
Liebe lächelt alles um mich her;
Nach dem letzten Klang der Sterbeglocken
Denkt kein Mensch des guten Jünglings mehr.

Chant funèbre
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Les ossements du noble aussi
Sont recouverts par l'obscurité de l'oubli,
La mousse couvre les inscriptions de sa stèle
Et son nom meurt avec le cours du temps.
Quand se réveillera la nouvelle aurore ?
Ô quand sortiront les feuilles de l'éternel printemps ?
Le lieu de sommeil des mort est humble,
Leur chambre de poussière étroite et lugubre !
Les roses font encore une couronne à mes boucles,
L'amour sourit tout autour de moi ;
Après le dernier écho des cloches de son glas,
Personne ne pensera plus au bel adolescent.
