Es ist kein Weh auf Erden, So heiß, so [laut und]1 wild, Die Sühne soll ihm werden, Sei still, so wird's gestillt. [Und]2 ist kein Tod vorhanden, Was Liebes du begräbst, Gleich [ist's dir]3 auferstanden, Wie du nur treu ihm lebst. Auch giebt's kein wirklich Scheiden, Der Trennung öden Schmerz, Du brauchst ihn nie zu leiden, [Bleib]4 nah' nur Herz an Herz. In ihres Mantels Falten Trägt Gottes Lieb' die Welt, Wer sich von ihr läßt halten, Den sie gar treulich hält.

Il n'y a pas de peine sur terre Aussi brûlante, aussi forte, aussi sauvage, Qui ne soit transformée en expiation. Sois calme, et elle sera calmée ! Et il n'y a pas de mort présente ; L'amour que tu as enterré, Est ressuscité aussitôt Que tu lui restes fidèle. En outre il n'y a pas de réelle séparation, La douleur désolée de la séparation, Tu n'as pas à la souffrir, Restez seulement proche cœur contre cœur ! Dans les plis de son manteau, L'amour de Dieu porte le monde, Celui qui cède à l'amour de Dieu Sera fidèlement récompensé.
