[So willst]1 du des Armen Dich gnädig erbarmen? So ist es kein Traum? Wie rieseln die Quellen, Wie tönen die Wellen, Wie rauschet der Baum! Tief lag ich in bangen Gemäuern gefangen, Nun grüßt mich das Licht! Wie spielen die Strahlen! Sie blenden und malen Mein schüchtern Gesicht. Und soll ich es glauben? Wird keiner mir rauben Den köstlichen Wahn? Doch Träume entschweben, Nur lieben heißt leben; Willkommene Bahn! Wie frei und wie heiter! Nicht eile nun weiter, [Den]2 Pilgerstab fort! Du hast überwunden, Du hast ihn gefunden, Den seligsten Ort!

Així, clement, vols tenir ara pietat del pobre home? Això, no és pas un somni? Com ragen les fonts, com ressonen les onades, com fressegen els arbres! Al fons de murs angoixants estava empresonat, ara la llum em saluda! Com juguen els seus raigs! Enlluernen i acoloren el meu poruc rostre. I ho haig de creure? Ningú no em robarà aquesta preciosa il·lusió? Però els somnis s’esvaneixen, i només estimar vol dir viure; un destí benvingut! Que lliure i joiós! No t’apressis més, fora el teu bastó de pelegrí! Tu has triomfat, tu has trobat el lloc sagrat!
