Jedem werke bin ich fürder tot. Dich mir nahzurufen mit den sinnen · Neue reden mit dir auszuspinnen · Dienst und lohn gewährung und verbot · Von allen dingen ist nur dieses not Und weinen dass die bilder immer fliehen Die in schöner finsternis gediehen – Wann der kalte klare morgen droht.

I am henceforth dead to every deed. To call you near to me with my senses, To weave new conversations with you, Service and recompense, permission and forbiddance, Of all things only this is necessary, And weeping that the images ever flit away, [The images] that flourished in beautiful darkness - When the cold, clear morning threatens.
