Du bist mein Auge! -- Du durchdringst mich ganz, mein ganzes Wesen hast du mir erhellt, mein ganzes Leben du erfüllt mit Glanz, mich Strauchelnden auf sichern Pfad gestellt! Mein Auge du! -- Wie war ich doch so blind an Herz und Sinn, eh' Du dich mir gesellt, und wie durchströmt mich jetzt so licht, so lind verklärt der Abglanz dieser ganzen Welt!
1 Strauss adds at the end "Du bist mein Auge, du!"

Tu es mes yeux ! tu me transperces complètement Tu as éclairé tout mon être, Tu as empli toute ma vie de lumière, Tu m'as mis, titubant sur un chemin sûr ! Toi, mes yeux ! comment étais-je si aveugle De cœur et d'esprit avant que tu me rejoignes, Et à présent je suis comme clairement et doucement irradié, Transfiguré par le reflet du monde entier.
