Jeder hat's gehabt, Keiner hat's geschätzt, Jeden hat der süsse Quell gelabt, O wie klingt der Name Friede jetzt! Klingt so fern und zag, Klingt so tränenschwer, Keiner weiß und kennt den Tag, Jeder sehnt ihn voll Verlangen her. Sei willkommen einst, Erste Friedensnacht, Milder Stern, wenn endlich du erscheinst Überm Feuerdampf der letzten Schlacht. Dir entgegen blickt Jede Nacht mein Traum, Ungeduldig rege Hoffnung pflückt Ahnend schon die goldne Frucht vom Baum. Sei willkommen einst, Wenn aus Blut und Not Du am Erdenhimmel uns erscheinst, Einer andern Zukunft Morgenrot!

Chacun l'a eue. Personne ne l'a appréciée. Chacun s'est désaltéré à la douce source. Oh comme vibre maintenant le nom de la paix ! Il vibre, lointain et timide, Il vibre lourd de larmes. Personne ne sait ni ne connaît le jour, Chacun le désire empli d'attente. Sois un jour la bienvenue. Première nuit de paix. Douce étoile, quand enfin tu apparaîtras Sur la fumée du feu de la dernière bataille. Chaque nuit mon rêve Porte son regard vers toi, Un espoir intense et impatient entrevoit déjà La cueillette sur l'arbre du fruit d'or. Sois un jour la bienvenue. Quand du sang et de la détresse Tu nous apparaîtras dans le ciel de la terre, Aurore d'un autre futur.
