Wenn doch mein Leben fürder geht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn doch mein Leben fürder geht
Und manchmal noch aus reichen Ranken
Ein reifes Lied mir niederweht,
Ich hab's auch dir zu danken.
Du weißt es nicht, denn ich begrub
Dein Bild in meiner Nächte Schweigen.
Und was mein Lied zu Tage hub,
War schon zuvor dein eigen.

Cependant que ma vie avance
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Cependant que ma vie avance
Si parfois d'un sarment généreux
Descend encore vers moi le souffle mûr d'un chant,
Je dois aussi t'en remercier.
Tu ne le sais pas, car j'ai enfoui
Ton image dans le mutisme de mes nuits,
Et ce qu'aujourd'hui mon chant révéla,
Était déjà auparavant pénétré de toi.
