Wälder stehen, See und Land Wie in alten Kinderzeiten, Und es ruhen alle Weiten Friedevoll in Gottes Hand. Eine stille Stunde lang Kann ich so verzaubert schauen, Und es schläft der alte Drang Und es schläft des alte Grauen. Doch ich weiß: die jetzt gebannt, Werden balde auferstehen, Und ich muß im grünen Land Als ein Gast und Fremdling gehen.

Hi ha boscos, llac i campanya com en els vells temps de la infantesa, i tots els amplis espais reposen en pau en la mà de Déu. Durant una tranquil·la hora, encisat, els he pogut contemplar, i el vell afany s’adorm i s’adorm la vella basarda. Però jo sé: els que estan exorcitzats ressuscitaran aviat, i jo, en aquest verd paisatge, haig de caminar com un hoste i un estranger.
