Seele
Language: German (Deutsch)

Dämmerung löscht die letzten Lichter, noch ein irrer Schall und Schein, und die Nacht hüllt dicht und dichter alles Leben ein: Und die Erde will nun schlafen; aber ruhelos bist du, steuerst aus dem stillen Hafen deinen Sternen zu.

Dusza
Language: Polish (Polski) after the German (Deutsch)
Pogasił zmrok juź dnia promicnie, pełznie nikły swiatła ślad, W coraz gęstsze gęstsze cienie noc utula swiat: Ziemia w mroku śpi otchłani; tylko w tobie zamęt burz, Duch twój z cichej tej przystani do gwiazd rwie się zórz.
