Der Genesene an die Hoffnung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE FRE ITA
Tödtlich graute mir der Morgen:
Doch schon lag mein Haupt, wie süß!
Hoffnung, dir im Schoß verborgen,
bis der Sieg gewonnen hieß,
bis der Sieg gewonnen hieß.

Opfer bracht' ich allen Göttern,
Doch vergessen warest du;
Seitwärts von den ew'gen Rettern
Sahest du dem Feste zu.

O, vergieb, du Vielgetreue!
Tritt aus deinem Dämmerlicht,
Daß ich dir in's ewig neue,
Mondenhelle Angesicht

Einmal schaue, recht von Herzen,
Wie ein Kind und sonder Harm;
Ach, nur Einmal ohne Schmerzen
schließe mich in deinen Arm!

Le convalescent à l'espoir
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Le matin me remplit d'effroi comme la mort :
Mais déjà ma tête reposait, si doucement !
Ô Espoir, cachée sur ton sein.
Jusqu'à ce que le combat soit déclaré vainqueur.
Jusqu'à ce que le combat soit déclaré vainqueur.

J'ai apporté des offrandes à tous les dieux,
Mais tu étais tombé dans l'oubli ;
Te tenant à côté des sauveurs éternels
Tu regardais les fêtes.

Oh, pardonne-moi, le toujours fidèle !
Sors de la pénombre,
De sorte que toujours renouvelé,
Ton visage clair comme la lune,

Une fois encore je le regarde, de tout mon cœur,
Comme un enfant et sans affliction ;
Ah, seulement une fois encore sans douleur
Serre-moi dans tes bras !
