Nun schreit' ich aus dem Tore
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun schreit' ich aus dem Tore Ins weite, öde Feld, Dort ist der große Kirchhof Der alten Römerwelt. Die ruht von Lieb' und Hasse, Von Lust und Kampf und Strauß Dort an der appischen Straße Im Marmorgrabe aus. Mich grüßt der Turm, vergüldet Vom Abendsonnenstrahl, Cäcilia Metella, Dein trutzig Totenmal. In seinen Trümmern steh' ich, Den Blick gen Nord gewandt, Da fliegen die Gedanken Weit übers welsche Land Zu einem andern Turme, Der hat viel klein're Stein, Am rebumrankten Fenster Sitzt die Herzliebste mein.

Now I stride out of the gate
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Now I stride out of the gate Into the wide, desolate field, There is the great churchyard Of the old Roman world. It rests from love and hate, From passion and battle and fighting There at the Appian Way In a marble grave. From the tower, made golden By the beams of the evening sun, I am greeted, Caecilia Metella, By your defiant death monument. Within its ruins I stand, My gaze turned toward the north, My thoughts fly then Far over the Italian land To another tower, Which has much smaller stones. At the window, embowered with grapevines, Sits she, the most beloved of my heart.
