Die Flamme hier, die wilde, zu verhehlen, Die Schmerzen alle, welche mich zerquälen, Vermag ich es, da alle Winde ringsum Die Gründe meiner Traurigkeit erzählen? Daß ich ein Stäubchen deines Weges stäube, Wie magst du doch, o sprich, wie darfst du schmählen? Verklage dich, verklage das Verhängnis, Das waltet über alle Menschenseelen! Da selbiges verordnete, das ew'ge, Wie alle sollten ihre Wege wählen, Da wurde deinem Lockenhaar der Auftrag, Mir Ehre, Glauben und Vernunft zu stehlen.

Dissimuler ici la flamme sauvage Et toutes les douleurs qui me torturent, En suis-je capable quand tous les vents alentour Dévoilent les raisons de ma tristesse ? Que j'éparpille une poussière de ton chemin, Comment pourrais-tu, dis, comment peux-tu m'en vouloir, Blâme-toi, blâme la fatalité Qui règne sur l'âme de tout homme ! Celle-la même,éternelle, qui décrète Comment chacun doit choisir son chemin, Qui donna aux boucles de tes cheveux la mission De me voler honneur, foi et raison.
