Angst und hoffen wechselnd mich beklemmen · Meine worte sich in seufzer dehnen · Mich bedrängt so ungestümes sehnen Dass ich mich an rast und schlaf nicht kehre Dass mein lager tränen schwemmen Dass ich jede freude von mir wehre Dass ich keines freundes trost begehre.

Angoixa i esperança m'oprimeixen alternadament, les meves paraules es clouen en sospirs, aital ardent desig m'assetja que, en retorn, no trobo son ni repòs, que les llàgrimes inunden el meu llit, que jo qualsevol goig de mi allunyo, que no desitjo el consol de cap amic.
