Vind, som mig smeker och lämnar, säg, vart din kosa du ämnar, skyndande, flyktig och snar, säg mig, var hamnar du, - var? Bölja, som gungar min julle, skulle jag följa dig, - skulle årorna lyda ditt drag, svara, var hamnade jag? Tankar, otaliga tankar, sägen, var kasten I ankar? Barn av en ädlare värld, ges det ett mål för er färd?

Vent, qui me caresse et me rafraîchit, dis, vers quelle route te diriges-tu, pressé, rapide et prompt, dis-moi, où arriveras-tu, où ? Vague, qui agite mon esquif, devrais-je te suivre, mes rames devraient-elles suivre ta marche, réponds, où arriverais-je ? Pensées, innombrables pensées, dites, où jetez-vous l'ancre ? Enfants d'un monde plus noble, y a-t-il un but à cette course ?
