Was ich schuf in heißer Jahre Glut Steht am lauten Markt zur Schau gestellt. Leicht vorüber geht die frohe Welt, Lacht und lobt und findet alles gut. Keiner weiß, daß dieser frohe Kranz, Den die Welt mir lachend drückt ins Haar, Meines Lebens Kraft verschlang und Glanz, Ach, und daß das Opfer unnütz war.

Tot el que he creat en el fervor dels meus anys fogosos està exposat al bulliciós mercat. Lleugera, passa pel davant la gent alegra que riu i elogia i ho troba tot bé. Ningú sap que aquesta joiosa garlanda que rient el món m’ha posat als cabells, ha engolit la força de la meva vida i el meu esclat, ai las, i que el sacrifici ha estat inútil.
