Mein wundes Herz verlangt nach milder Ruh', O hauche sie ihm ein! Es fliegt dir weinend, bange schlagend zu -- O hülle du es ein! Wie wenn ein Strahl durch schwere Wolken bricht, So winkest du ihm zu: O lächle fort mit deinem milden Licht! Mein Pol, mein Stern bist du!

Mijn hart, gewond, verlangt naar rust, zo zoet, O, adem die het in! Het vliegt jou wenend, angstig tegemoet; O, wikkel jij het in! Zoals een straal door zware wolken breekt, Zo komt jouw wenk naar mij. O, dat jouw licht, jouw glimlach niet verbleekt; Mijn pool, mijn ster ben jij!
