Wasser stürzt, uns zu verschlingen, Rollt der Fels, uns zu erschlagen, Kommen schon auf starken Schwingen Vögel her, uns fortzutragen. Aber unten liegt ein [Land]1, [Früchte spiegelnd]2 ohne Ende In den alterslosen [Seen]3. Marmorstirn und Brunnenrand Steigt aus blumigem Gelände, Und die leichten Winde wehn.

L'aigua es precipita, per engolir-nos, rodola la roca, per aplastar-nos, arriben ja ocells amb ales potens, per emportar-nos Però a baix hi ha un país, emmirallant fruites sense fi, en un mar sense edat. Façanes de màrmor i voreres de fonts s'aixequen en terrenys florits i bufen vents lleugers.
