Also lieb' ich Euch, Geliebte, Daß mein Herz es nicht mag wagen, Irgend einen Wunsch zu tragen, Also lieb' ich Euch! Denn wenn ich zu wünschen wagte, Hoffen würd' ich auch zugleich; Wenn ich nicht zu hoffen zagte, Weiß ich wohl, erzürnt' ich Euch. Darum ruf' ich ganz alleine Nur dem Tod, daß er erscheine, Weil mein Herz es nicht mag wagen, Einen andern Wunsch zu tragen, Also lieb' ich Euch!

Us estimo tant, amor meu, que el meu cor no pot gosar de manifestar cap mena de desig, per tant que us estimo! Car, si gosés manifestar un desig, voldria al mateix temps tenir esperança; si no tingués por d’esperar, sé ben bé que us faria enutjar. Per això, tot sol, demano només que la mort aparegui, car el meu cor no pot gosar de manifestar un altre desig, per tant que us estimo!
