Alle meine Jugendzeit Bin ich Lüsten nachgegangen, Um danach voll Düsterkeit Leid und Schmerzen nachzuhangen. Schmerz und Lüste sind mir nun Ganz verschwistert und durchdrungen; Ob sie wohl, ob wehe tun, Beides ist in eins verschlungen. Ob mich Gott durch Höllenschrei, Ob durch Sonnenhimmel führe, Beides gilt mir einerlei, Wenn ich seine Hand nur spüre.

Pendant tout le temps de ma jeunesse J'ai poursuivi les plaisirs, Pour ensuite, plein de ténèbres, Donner libre cours au chagrin et à la souffrance. Souffrance et plaisir sont maintenant pour moi Frère et sœur et complètement interpénétrés ; Qu'ils me fassent du bien ou me fassent du mal, Ils sont enchevêtrés en une seule chose. Que Dieu me mène au milieu des cris de l'enfer Ou dans les cieux ensoleillés, Est pour moi indifférent, Pourvu que je sente sa main.
